Paying it forward for folks whose partner is undergoing treatment.
With a
PSA
of 73, he was quickly and thoroughly scanned and biopsied to determine he has Stage 4 Metastatic Prostate Cancer. Many of you know that shock and horror. As the months have gone by and we rode this unfortunate roller coaster he is stable and we are good.

Prostatitis advice
PSA
over the year has varied between 5 and 10, and the last test a couple of months ago was around 7. Any advice please on what else he could try to avoid another invasive procedure? Currently his GP has issued another prescription for the yukky Ciprofloxacin. Thanks in advance.

What comes next?
PSA
hit low of 0.48 in mid-Jan. and has been rising since. Tried switching to dexamethasone (from prednisone) but didn't help. I have scans & see my MO this week. I expect my
PSA
will be 2.0 or close to it. I'm a good candidate for Keytruda, as I have high TMB, high MSI.

And so it goes.
So after radiation and 2 yrs of ADT/Zytiga where my
PSA
was undetectable - i went on a vacation. Then my
PSA
started to come back - I had an initial PETscan in October 2022 which showed nothing and waited for the
PSA
to rise.

ART Limit PSA Screening to Men With Symptoms
For 10 years I never missed a DRE or
PSA
test, headed the
PSA
4.0 safety threshold and wound up with a GS 4+3 tumor filling 30% of my prostate before I found out what I had...but, this story gets better!

His
PSA
is at a .09 so it is working well… but maybe will have success with another kind? Speaking with his oncologist on Friday. Any experiences or advice is appreciated. Thank you.

Now I’m facing my
psa
on the rise again, and a third round of radiation, cyberknife to the spine and pelvis, or maybe chemo, the docs are still discussing. And looking back I realize my dad was not dying for those 9 years, he was living and loving his best life.

ON 4TH INFUSION OF 177Lu-PSMA-I&T & HAVE EXPERIENCED "BURNING" BACK PAIN?
I am on my 4th infusion (4 of 4) and
PSA
of 2.0 dropped to 0.1 after the 3rd. Waiting on labs after the 4th. I am in the Eclipse Trial at the "Center of Excellence" Nuclear Medical Facility at St. Louis University. After the 3rd started to experience 'burning-like" back pain, at times.

Update on failing Enzalutamide
PSA
initially fell, and once I'd recovered from an unconnected major surgery, moved back to the full dose. This floored me with exhaustion and, as the
PSA
doubled (to 3.3) I went back to one-quarter dose. After 3 months,
PSA
had risen (4.4) but more slowly.

If it doesn't make you feel bad, is it working?
After the second treatment, his
PSA
had gone down to 22 from 41. After the third, it had increased to 25. Bone and CT scans have been ordered but there is a backlog. We expect the bone scan in the next week or so, but the CT might be quite a while. PSMA will be ordered after that.

After Zofigo, what next?
He meets with his oncologist in two weeks and just had bloodwork which showed a significant rise in his
PSA
, from 17 to 27 in 6 weeks. Though that's not what we'd want to see, it's not a surprise, since Zofigo doesn't necessarily drive the
PSA
down.
