Here I go.
So the beast has returned - In summary, after a 2 year ADT vaca, my
PSA
started to climb so i was tracking it monthly. I also got to Mayo and they did a PSMA/CAT in october (
PSA
=0.2)- that they "said" was clean.

Cyberknife For Periaortic Lymph Nodes
My last
PSA
was 0.055. I’m feeling pretty good physically. I’m meeting with my MO for a consultation in July and I’m planning to propose Cyberknife. Any opinions or feedback you can share would be appreciated.

Started Xtandi
Hello everyone, After almost 3.5 years, my
PSA
has gone down (from 577 to 4.23), and now it has started to go up again (9.5). So the Firmagon, Docetaxel and Radiation seemed to do a decent job. Now I've started Xtandi and after 3.5 weeks, a new low of 3.53!

Lupron and Abiraterone post treatment expectations?
Ive had RP;
PSA
didn’t go to zero; started Lupron and Abi + Prednisone and then 33 radiation treatments of whole pelvic region.
PSA
has been undetected for 7 mos now. Hope to stop all treatments after 6/24 Has anyone walked similar path? Did
PSA
stay at zero? Did libido return?

Worsening Stress Incontinence 20 Months After Surgery?
My
PSA
is 0.02. My best guess is that physical shape has a direct impact on incontinence post-surgery and it mainly because I'm not as in as good of shape as I was when my continence was better?

Intake question MSKCC
Now, my twin brother presents with an elevated
PSA
, and wants to be evaluated at MSK. He calls and is told they will NOT schedule an initial visit without a PRIOR DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER (!) Has anyone heard anything like that--that MSK wouldn't do an intake for a workup?

Xgeva side effects?????
I'm on Trelstar and my
PSA
is < 0.04. In March of this year I started taking Erleada. The side effects from both drugs have been minimal, some hot flashes and fatigue. Two months ago my doctor started me on Xgeva. The first dose I felt no ill effects, but the next dose kicked my butt.

PSA 0.00 AM I CURED???
Just had my blood test yesterday which included results of
PSA
0.00, and Testosterone 0.00. Given my
PSA
is 0.00 ( is that what is considered undetectable?) am I now considered "cured"? and should I continue and finish out my orgovyx until the end of the month?

BP with abiraterone + prednisone, eplerenone, dexamethasone
I have been on Lupron and abiraterone with (initially) prednisone for 4.5 years, which has maintained my
PSA
at <0.1 since 111 at diagnosis. I have all the usual side effects. One that doesn't bother me day-to-day, but definitely concerns me, is hypertension.

another treatment decision.
Psa
levels undetectable since then but lots of late effect problems from the radiotherapy. Have had several urethral dilatations due to strictures and following the last one earlier this year my incontinence has increased .

PSA and Covid
I’ve read a few times that
PSA
can become elevated for several months post Covid. Is this for real or just wishful thinking? Has anyone actually experienced this?
