Post Docetaxel scan, which one?
PSA
now <.03. Last dose of Docetaxel due on 3rd May. Given previous CT and MRI scans having shown no abnormalities and
PSA
at <.03 which scan to go for to assess response to Docetaxel therapy? (
PSA
came down to <.03 even before Chemotherapy!) Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

hope this helps others
Recent
PSA
was .76 and had pet/ct scan with PSMA which located 2 tumors in my lymph nodes. I am in the middle of 5 sessions of SBRT.. Lesson learned Looking back I always have felt my initial urologist failed me for not addressing rising
PSA
with a biopsy quickly.

Are there options past Pluvicto?
After the first Pluvicto infusion his
PSA
went from 49 to 27, at two weeks post infusion. However, a couple of weeks later, when he had his second infusion, it had risen again, to 42. So
PSA
-wise, it seems he had only incremental results from the first infusion.

Now Undetectable PSA on BAT Regimen
My
PSA
has continued to decline on this regimen. It was down by 90% in January 2023 to 0.030. Now it has become undetectable <0.015. These were measured at towards the end of the ADT month of each cycle. So my next step will be to measure it during the high testosterone phases.

Weight LOSS on ADT
After radiation, Zytiga and Lupron, my
PSA
dropped to no-detect, where it has stayed for the past 3+ years. All very good news, right? Yes....mostly. Though I've dealt with continuing hot flashes and fatigue, my big concern right now is weight loss.

psa

psa

psa

Scared and Feeling Helpless
His
PSA
increased from 5 to 12 from Jan 2023 to Nov 2023.
PSA
increase was detected/tested when he went in for what they thought was a urinary tract infection (I swear I knew something was up then and urged him to go to another dr asap).

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.

Into the Great Unknown
At 57 when diagnosed (
PSA
5.2, Gleason 4+3, one affected pelvic lymph node per PSMA PET scan), our plan was to throw the kitchen sink at my PCa and see if we can’t knock it out.

treatment and insurance questions
PSA
5.2. Biopsy results confirmed by MRI. I am 64 years old and will be 65 in December. I have horrible insurance with very limited treatment options. I would like to delay treatment until I have Medicare (5 months).
