Lutetium 177 for "early" grade 4 pc or amino acid suppression ?
They suggested that maybe he would have a year with very low levels of
PSA
. 9 months down the line his
PSA
levels have gone up to 1. So further scans of various types to identify where these other affected lymph nodes are.

Interrupted Docetaxel treatment
I started Docetaxel treatment due to increasing
PSA
on Jan.30 and was supposed to do 8 - 10 treatments at two week intervals. After treatment no.3 my
PSA
showed a significant drop, I cannot remember the number, but it had dropped several points from about 20.

Boron and Fasting for the Prostate
I read taking boron as a suppl was good for the prostate and could lower
psa
. Has anyone tried Boron ? I went on a 10 day water fast and my
psa
went from 23 down to 15 in 1 month. but went back up to 24. Who knows when it comes to
psa
other than doubling time or if it drops to normal.

Just joined the club no one wants to be a member of in April 2023 - can Gleason 9 be cured ?
The highest my
PSA
has ever been was 5.48 in December 2022 and it dropped to .09 with Testosterone of 14 in August two months after a shot of Eligard and 3 months of Casodex. Since then I have had 48 seeds planted via Brachytherapy and I am about to start EBRT.

Orgovyx with BAT Questions
My T and
PSA
levels are still fantastic after 4 complete cycles. All liver and blood markers are in the normal ranges. Not one out of place. Why am I feeling sooo good now?

Active Surveillance
My
PSA
went as high as 13 then back down to 11 the last time it was checked in July. My question is should I be getting any more biopsies? The second one was supposed to be to confirm the cancer and it showed less cancer than the first. I've been on active surveillance for about 2.5 years. Thanks.

Good News Update on my Joe
His
PSA
dropped from 7.69 last month to 4.88 this month. He experiences fatigue, which is remedied by dexamethasone on the days he has something he wants to do. Otherwise, he sleeps. No other side effects worth mentioning at this time. I asked for PSMA and FDG (?)

Clean PET/CT Scan - Why no treatment change?
My MO (who I like and trust) keeps telling me that we're going to stay the course until my
PSA
increases. (Why fix something that isn't broke?)

New meta-analysis shows docetaxel benefits those having high grade/low PSA prostate cancer
Reposting with more specific title - no one had replied to Maxone73's original post. Interesting results for those with a poor-prognosis cancer. https://www.miragenews.com/docetaxel-slashes-prostate-cancer-death-in-high-1115466/

PSA up to 150 on Olaprib, any insight on what’s next?
Since restarting Olaprib, his
PSA
has gone from 83 to 150. These results came in long after his MO appointment yesterday so we have no direction quite yet. Any advice on other treatments to may be effective assuming this one has failed for him?

Dad's Next Treatment?
His latest
PSA
levels in June was at 16 and latest PSMA PET Scan was on Dec 2023, the mets are mainly in the spine, femur, ribs, and hips. He is now receiving Enzalutamide / Xtandi (just started 12 days ago) and I am not sure if it's the bone mets or the meds, but it has been so hard on him.

Latest PSA Unchanged
My latest
PSA
shows an unchanged value. I was hoping for a straight shot down to nadir after SBRT. Should this be of concern? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Best.

My initial Pluvicto response
So far: Aug 16:
PSA
99.7 Aug 21: Pluvicto #1 Sep 11:
PSA
106 Sep 28:
PSA
91.8 So it appears to be working. Side effects: • A little tired, but that was offset by a week of steroids as was any "rebound pain" from extensive mets in my pelvis and spine.

Your thoughts on next course of action
PSA
eventually started rising and next PSMA showed a single site uptake in a retroperitoneal LN. Passed on ADT due to side effects and opted for SBRT MDT to his LN. Scans showed it was successful.
PSA
dropped and has now shown a small rise. Latest PSMA shows 3 nodes with uptake.
