Moved from Abi to Nubeqa and saw a PSA increase
I recently switched from Abiraterone/Prednisone to Nubeqa because of the high blood pressure that I had with Abi requiring additional BP meds. I was previously .058 a month ago when I switched and .109 today, almost double in a month. Any one with experience with this switch?

Saxon clinical trial
Hello all, I was recently enrolled in the Saxon clinical trial combining Xofigo with SBRT. Is anyone else in that trial? Diagnosed with prostate Cancer July 2014, Gleason 7 (4+3) in 6 of 12 . After Radiation treatments my PSA was undetectable until July 2019. It rose to 3.9 in January 2020

Slowly Rising PSA - Getting Nervous
It seems in the last 4 months it has been rising more. Doctors are waiting until in gets to the standard 0.2 before starting radiation. I do understand why they need to wait as the PSA isn't high enough yet for the risk/reward of treatment. 03/17/2023 0.029 04/22/2023 0.032 08/23/2023 0.046 12/07/2023

Diagnosed in November 2022. Favorable intermediate with Gleason 6 & Gleason 7 (3+4), with 4 less than 5%, and low Decipher score. On AS. 13 months later, one year MRI showed “concerning” images, with irregular capsule (visible), and extra capsular extension probable (interpretation from radiologist).

How long on Prostap?
I was diagnosed in January2021 with PC. Gleeson 4+3 but PSA only ever up to 10. I have had four PSMA scans which show 8 metastases in skull, ribs, pubic bone, hip bone. These continue to grow. I have been on Aberiterone/prednisolone, plus Prostap every 3 months. I have growing levels of bone pain (

post radiation. Currently on ADT. PSA slight increase ?
Hey all, My father who started at 226PSA has finished radiation treatment about a year ago.: and remains on ADT. his PSA was sitting 0.03 but has jumped to 0.08. Is this any cause for concern? I took it as a positive as it sounds extremely low but now second guessing ..

Just finished my second Pluvicto round.
After the first round my PSA went down a couple of pts. After the second round it went up about 25 pts. Have not done any scan and I would rather wait until after the third round in mid April. I see no problem with this. Increase PSA can be the result of dying cancer cells, right SUV numbers in the 20s

Is there hope despite the pain? Is Cabometyx worth it?
My 63 year old husband LD stopped Cabo (Cabometyx) when we had Covid (because we took Paxlovid). Now he doesn't want to start up again because of side effects we believe are caused by the Cabo: jaw pain and numbness, body aches, tingling in extremities, pain in the shoulder joint emanating down his arm

Scans other than PSMA for PC
My husband’s PSA continues to rise yet his PSMA scans are all clear. His last PSMA was late October with a PSA of 4.7 His PSA today was 6.5 It seems I have noted on this forum some other type scans should be done besides PSMA. His ALK PHOSPHATE is 85 (normal) Calcium levels all normal. Thanks

bleeding coming of prostap
can anyone help…. so I stopped taking prostap in October (last injection end of October) and had no period yet but I did have some signs of ovulation! 2 weeks ago I got a positive pregnancy test but since then have done several tests and they have all been negative so I am assuming it’s a false positive

Should I be concerned about a PSA of 0.53 after SBRT treatment for one spot.
After 18 months of undetectable PSA (after ADT & 44 IMRT treatments) , my PSA started to rise this summer and was 2.66 at it's highest. My RO send me for a PSMA- Pet scan and he found one spot on T-10. 5 treatment with SBRT in Oct - Nov and now on Dec 6th my PSA was tested to
0.53.

BAT Patient Guide
I was re-reading Dr. Denmeade's BAT Patient Guide (well worth checking out) and came across the following quote near the end. Thus far, Denmeade seems to have done his own, smaller trials. "A larger randomized study comparing overall patient survival following treatment with sequential BAT → Xtandi
