Latest Update
PSA
now at .08 - thats the lowest I have had since contacting this prick of a disease. End of chemo was .52 and .48 so pretty significant. The plan now is to test again every 12wks/3mths and act only upon increased
PSA
or pain etc...

Minor psa increase again
Just over 12 months since adt finished. All clear at <0.01 2 months ago when it started to rise to 0.03 then 4 weeks later 0.05 now 0.07. Have Dr's app in 3 weeks which will probably be a referral back to oncologist. Do we need to wait until 2.0 then a PET scan or can I be proactive now? My adt was

High ALT, AST number in blood work
PSA
down to 2.96 from 7.95 (initially diagnosed at 79.5).
PSA

To PET or not to PET
Blood draw this week shows my
PSA
level at <.10 beginning 30 days of starting those two drugs. My MO suggested I have a regular PET scan. No need for a PSMA scan because my
PSA
is basically undetectable. I am having trouble rationalizing the need for a PET and plan to talk to the MO.

The continuing saga of Scout and Coco, Not all change is welcome.
After cruising along with an Undetectable
PSA
for a little over 2+ years, my recent test results indicate a
PSA
of 0.03 and my Testosterone jumped from <7 to 13. The good news is my T is coming back but it looks like my PCa may be reawaking as well.

Rising PSA
I'm Poollover, Just got the results of a blood test and my
PSA
went up from 0.67 to 0.77. I'm on Orgovyx and Zytiga. I'm 86 years old. How concerned should I be? 8 months ago it was about 12. That was before medication. Also slightly anemic. What are my options? Terry

Prostrate Removed, PSA increasing
Hello to all, Is there anyone who had their prostrate removed but
PSA
is increasing? Oncologist wants to try a new hormonal drug. Radiation was administered after surgery.
PSA
is increasing. We appreciate your feedback. P.S.
