Enzalutamide any advice/tips for dealing with side effects
Had 6 cycles of Chemo and then Abiraterone for 18+ months (
PSA
dropped to 0.2 then more recently rose to 58 in June '23 ). Abiraterone eventually stopped working and I was able to join Radium 223 trial.

My Dad Stage 4 Pca - MO happy to settle for PSA 30, as its not 'curative'!
MAY 23 -
PSA
31 Yesterday we saw the MO and I asked if we could take a more aggressive approach to treatment and try and get the
PSA
down even more, seeing as chemo is no longer an option.

PSA rising during Docetaxel treatments
Is it bad if
PSA
rises slightly during Docetaxel treatments? It’s risen 3 out of the 4 treatments he’s had. Doc doesn’t seem too worried but we assumed it would go down. Scans looked good. Thank you!

Recurrence?
All this brought
PSA
down to <0.06 but yesterday we learned
PSA
has risen to 0.10 and the doctor said he's "worried" about it. He wants to see my husband in two months instead of four, and if
PSA
is still at o.10 or more, treatments will begin anew with Lupron and a pill added to that shot.

18 vs 24 mos ADT
PSA
is undetectable. MO has agreed to 24 mos ADT since I had a clean bone scan originally, lymph nodes do not show disease now. Tumor was outside prostate on MRI.

Is my recovery typical or more novel
I had 7=4+3 prostate cancer
PSA
=5.4 with a Gleason of 0.7. MRI showed the tumor had not compromised the wall of the prostate. It was an aggressive cancer genetically and was at stage three. Bad news but apparently ample margin for victory.

sudden stop in PSA decline
I‘ve been doing IADT, and started relugolix in December 2022, with
PSA
7.48, and each monthly
PSA
decline since then was significant and reassuring.

PSA drops quickly
Have not done anything but watch my
psa
slowly rise for the last 14 years. Then 3 months ago
psa
got to 5.5 and a psma pet scan showed cancer on my hip. 30 days ago they zapped my hip with 5 rounds of radiation and I started Erleada and 2 firmagone shots.

Blood Test Results.
Made about 3 appointments which were cancelled because he changed his working days or whatever so eventually decided that just to get the results - as my
PSA
test results were in there I would take an appointment with some one else - a locum as it happened.

Early Results from Transdermal Estrogen PATCH trial
Stage T3 (73%) and Stage T4 (14%), baseline
PSA
= 35 ng/mL. The upper chart shows the % change in a given measurement after 12 months of treatment, comparing Lupron ADT to high-dose transdermal estrogen (TDE) patch.

BAD NEWS
On top of that, a sudden doubling of my
PSA
means that I have an urgent consultation on Wednesday, and I've been told that chemo is now a matter of urgency. So, within a month, I've gone from 'your life is not in danger from this cancer' to full-scale panic.

miffed!!
I had a letter last week with the results of tests to see if I have RA or
PsA
. Rheumatologist has said it’s RA even though I have
PsA
symptoms. My hands show extensive grade 2 synovial thickening on both my hands and wrist . Right hand worse and changing shape.
