Prior to beginning trial last June I had just gone castrate resistant and
PSA
was at 3.3. A few weeks after the last of four injections
PSA
settled in at .25 so there was still something left.

On treating micro-metastatic disease
Thereafter just monitor the
PSA
for any rise, and use PSMA PET scan to locate any cancer and to radiate whatever spots of cancer that are found.This May I will reach the one year mark of my ADT and seriously considering stopping the ADT because of the side effects... fatigue, muscle loss, forgetfulness

Fenbendazole
My uncle, a very fit 88-year old, was diagnosed with prostate cancer 3 1/2 years ago and while the hormonal treatment kept it in check for a couple of years, his
PSA
has now risen to 1600 and the scans show has spread to his bones.

PSA trippled since last Lupron infusion
My
PSA
was 0.05 between February 2023 and June 2023, then in September it ticked higher to 0.06 and at yesterday's Lupron injection it was 0.17. Should I be concerned? Anybody with similar experience: what did you do? Am I CR or still CS? Should I ask for Lu-177/Pluvicto ASAP? Thanks for reading.

PSA after salvage Brachy
an update for those that have asked questions about Salvage HDR Brachytherapy: I’m nearly 3 months out and had
PSA
test yesterday. Results were: 0.5. Using Abbott CMIA. This equals the nadir in 2014. Headed in right direction. Any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

PSA Response From Broccoli Sprout Extract (Sulforaphane) May Due To Just Being Moderate ADT
Essentially, the
PSA
lowering effect, in my opinion, is due Sulforaphane reducing Testosterone and DHT levels.

1, 3 or 6 month ADT?
My
PSA
went to undetectable. Seven years later my
PSA
crept up to seven and I was put on a monthly shot of Firmagon for life. My
PSA
is again undetectable and all scans are negative, as they have always been.

Questions
In July I had the repeat
PSA
and the level had increased to 20.76. I was referred to a Urologist who did a DRE that indicated a right sided area of concern, he ordered a repeat
PSA
and scheduled a Biopsy. The repeats
PSA
showed an increase from July 26th to August 22nd level of 25.66.

Switch from Lupron/abi to Orgovyx/abi?
Lupron/abi dropped my
PSA
and TT very quickly so that is not an advantage, but the side effects are considered to be less - though my side effects seem more from abi than Lupron. Perhaps Libido is better with Orgo as it is about gone.

Patches (I'm depending on you, son)
While my research has continued, my oncologist has nothing to give me within the SOC to keep the
PSA
in check. Now I've witnessed another unwelcome visitor: facial hair (it only took me 70 yrs to start shaving....) Joking aside however, that means the T is on the rise.

Enzalutamide (Xtandi): Start at half standard dose to extend efficacy time span?
In 2022
PSA
started rising to 3. New PSMA scan in April 2023 showed 3 new metastasis near the prostate and
PSA
up to 5.4. Started Xtandi 160 mg/di in April which pushed
PSA
back down to <0.1 but ALT liver enzyme up to 560 (ULN 59). This forced stopping Xtandi for 4 weeks until ALT was down to 69.

Post triple therapy options?
The
PSA
numbers came down gradually, but seem to be stalling around 1.3. (Three weeks earlier it was 1.5). My impression was that the
PSA
should ideally be close to zero, and I'm concerned that the 1.3 level may reflect some castrate-resistance and active tumor(s).
