After 26 years, my combo IHT has finally failed.

Nubeqa vs Zytiga?
Hi all, got notice last evening that Nubeqa will no longer be covered by my drug provider. Apologies I should have said this in original post: What happened is Nova Scotia just in February approved Nubeqa, this then means that I would have to apply for my insurance to cover it INSTEAD of the compassion

In vitro but...fighting bone metastasis
Currently they have tested it on metastasis of breast cancer, but hopefully it could work for all bone metastasis https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1032208

PSA undetectable
After surgery PSA should be undetectable. What does it mean. Once the lab give 0.03, once 0.04. I guess it s the lab (standard error of the machine), but what is the limit of the lab and when should i consider that THERE IS a PSA. Why is PSA still detectable after surgery should nt it be 0.00 ?

Firmagon vs Lupron
So, the question is what are the up or downs if switching from Firmagon to Lupron. I used Orgovyx until it didn't work, switched to Firmagon. Wanted either due to family history with heart issues. Dad, uncle's, brothers, all having issues. One brother recently having a major HA... But the convenience

Confused
UPDATE: April 5, 2024 Yesterday was very disappointing as my husbands PSA increased again by 183 points, last month his PSA was 1546 and now it is 1730. All his other CBC results were good. His Alkaline Phosphatase increased 6 points, last month 127 and now 133 but still in range of 40-150. Questioned

Methionine restricted diet for recurring PSA and positive PMSA pet scan w/ 1 bone met
quick to the point. PSMA pet showed 1 L2 small met and some lymph activity. My PSA went from 2.01 to 2.9 in one month. after doing some research on diets and supplements . I found that the keto diet is extremely high in the amino acid methionine and I made it worse trying to reduce my blood pressure

PSA continues rise...PSMA remains good
To briefly review, now 69 years old, had RP at Hopkins in Feb 2018. Gleason 4+5. Margins clear. Organ-confined. PSA undetectable for two years...then an ill-advised and reckless PSA holiday for three years until Aug 2023 when PSA measured in the range of 7. First PSMA that same month entirely negative

PSA Still Going Up
I had RP on January 2023, started ADT in May 2023 and went through 38 sessions of radiation. In November 2023, my PSA went down to 0.005 ng/mL. My PSA went up to 0.015 ng/mL in January 2024 and went up to 0.035 ng/mL in my current test. I know Tall Allen said the previous number was negligible because
