PSA not dropping with cabazitaxel
See my profile for history. Have had 8 good years after Docitaxal, Lupron and 4 years of Zytiga. But mets's started up again in May, 2023. PSA went up to 36. Took 5 rounds of Docitaxal but not working. PSA 46 in December. MO prognosis is 1-1.5 yrs. Switched to cabazitaxel but after 3 rounds PSA is now

I am a 70 year old diagnosed in 8/21 with G9 on biopsy with initial imaging negative for metastatic disease. Underwent RP in 10/21 with seminal vesicle involvement. A few sampled nodes were negative. 5 months after surgery PSA climbed to 0.39 from 0.016 in first post op test. PSMA PET revealed a solitary

Spot Radiation before Pluvicto?
Haven’t posted for a while about Mr. Spouse21 until I had some data as his PSA began to tick up a few months ago. Last week a PET FDG confirmed recent bone and CT scans. Summary of main results:
Multiple tracer avid osseous metastases. Most prominent involving right margin of T12.

How long does SBRT to two lymph nodes continue to lower PSA?
Just wondering…does SBRT continue to drop PSA for any length of time? Or is it five sessions and it is what it is then? Curious if I can see further PSA reduction after 5 sessions to one node, then 5 to a second node. No prostate. See the treating RO in a couple of days, but thought I would ask

Hi everyone, I’m so worry for my dad, he has been dealing with this disease since 2019, he was put on vacation 2 years ago and for the last 2 years off medication his PSA was around 0.01, life was good and we were happy for him until his last two psa tests which jumped to 0.4 ! He had a scan and one

Rising PSA
What are the most Accurate scans for detecting hot spots of cancer? Husband has had several PSMA scans and CT with contrast yet nothing shows up. He had one lymph show up in 2017 on an Auxium scan and it was radiated. 7 years later PSA rising… up to 14. Yet scans show nothing definitive. CT with

HDR boost Brachytherapy + IMRT
Hi all, This is my first post since being diagnosed with g9 metastatic PC. PSMA PET showed several pelvic lymph nodes with Mets, but no other spread, and bones are clean. I’m trying to finalize my choice of radiation treatments. I’m currently on Lupron and Zytiga, and PSA is dropping like a rock

after EBRT …monitoring?
I’m up to fraction 20, today, 8 to go. (YAY!) I’m sure my RO will fill me in in upcoming appointments, but was wondering what I could expect in terms of monitoring results of my treatments afterwards. I’d imagine routine blood panels, monitoring PSA, but should I expect another PSMA PET scan at some

PSA uptick
Quick background, my dad was diagnosed with metastatic PCa in 2018. Initially treated with docetaxel + ADT. His PSA has been at/near undetected (<0.01-0.02) for several years, but recently there has been an uptick to 0.08 (similar on a recheck, so not lab error). Obviously still low-level, but concerning

Radiation PSA, Orgovyx, Bone density Update 2/18/24
Rouge clone radiation on 10/31/23 has PSA from 4.83 on 11/20/23 to 0.85 on 12/18. HOWEVER, PSA up to 1.48 on 1/29/24 then 2.48 on 2/15/24. Waiting MO response but anticipate PET scan, radiation and/or switch to Xtandi. Was hoping to ride the Zytiga therapy as long as possible but I may be there now.

Chemo Update March 27, 2024
I was treated with 6 rounds of docetaxel in 2017/2018 when I was HSPC and I responded exceptionally well. I have been CRPC since 2022 and have tried abiraterone and Radium 223 (Xofigo). I just completed 7 rounds of docetaxel again and PSA went from 105 to 3.1 after 4 rounds then started doubling. Now

FDG elements of PSMA scan
I had a FDG scan a few days ago . At the heart of my confusion is the function of FDG in giving a positive outcome to Pluvicto infusions. Is it a good thing to have lots of 'FDG Avid' showing up, or do you want those aspects of the scan to be as hidden as possible (so that the PSMA -Avid cells can be
