Radiation after triple therapy?
PSA
.2 as of beginning of 6th cycle. Meeting with MO on Tuesday and seeking recommendations of further treatment. Currently, I have no pain. My thought is to use RT to control metastasis and prevent future fractures. Is this a good time in my treatment to begin RT?

Stable PSA, deep fall testosterone lab results.
PSA
un changed at 1.06 for the last 4 months, testosterone down from 100 last month to 17 yesterday. Kindly asking, what will be the point of starting on Xtandi and get exposed to its nasty side effects? I've asked the Oncologist to wait until the numbers drastically change, he is in agreement.

4K test says H. What now?
The 4K test indicated a
PSA
of 15 - up from 13 in March and 11 in December. There was an "H" next to it, I assume indicating a high probability of cancer in the next 10 yrs. I'm curious about what 2nd directed biopsy will show.

Hello everyone...
It was in August 2022 that my primary care became alarmed after my
PSA
returned, and it was 77 plus, that I likewise became alarmed by the fact that I must deal with prostate cancer.

Requesting Help to Develop Bespoke BAT
Generally, if no treatments at all
PSA
doubling time is very short – around 3.5 weeks (which should be taking into consideration while developing BAT protocol). Always have high estrogen when normal testosterone, so that should be controlled during SPT.

PSA for imaging to detect disease
With all the rapidly changing advances in imaging, what is now the lowest

at which metastases can be detected?

Erratic PSA and broken bone
I'm resuming chemo this Friday due to
PSA
spike and staying on Xtandi. Any thoughts as to why my
PSA
was so erratic lately with the sudden drop to 0.023 and then spike to 6.9? Could it be stress related to the broken bone? Thanks.

Should I fight for Darolutamide ?
After RT in a metastastic LN last year, I am again with a
PSA
2.0, with a bunch of small LNs showing in the PET. RO gave up. I will start ADT again, this time with a 2nd generation added. I will restart Zoladex, and MO is adding Enzalutamide this time.

EMBARK Study: ADT vs Enzalutamide +/- ADT
Castrate resistance was much lower with combination over ADT as was
PSA
progression and distant metastasis rates. Enza monotherapy has significant fatigue for many, and significant side effect of gynecomastia as expected with this. (Can be managed by breast radiation or tamoxifen).
