Prostate cancer morphed into NEPC
This kept the
PSA
low (around .2) and kept my MO happy. In 2021, I asked my MO if I should be getting a scan. He said with the
PSA
that low, nothing would show up. So I went along with the plan (Lupron & Xtandi). A lump developed under my jaw this past August, which created the need for the scan.

Opinion sought for ADT treatment duration
Then I went through the typical 45 radiation treatments of the prostate. 3 months ago my
PSA
had dropped from 8 to 0.7. Last week it had dropped to 0.1 ng/ml. A biopsy last year showed 1 sample identified as Gleason 8. My urologist thinks I can stop taking Orgovyx at the end of 2023.

MRI guided Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) for favorable intermediate recurrence?
Pre ablation
PSA
was 5.76. Post ablation
PSA
1.25, eventually rising to 1.96. One year later, left side clean in MRI and biopsy. However, right side determined to have 2 cores with 3+4, and 4+3.

Another positive lymph node
Surgical removal at Mayo. 2003 (one year to the date of surgery)
PSA
was detectable and he had radiation at Mayo. Fast forward 2015,
psa
detectable again, put on Lupron. C-11 choline scans every 3 months, appt. with Dr. Kwon afterwards, and monthly
psa
tests/Lupron injections.

A good day today
Dad had initial
PSA
of 17 and it was believed localised (2c) and received surgery in June 2018. Failed with a low score of 0.08, upgrade to 3a and subsequently received radiation in January 2019. 37 sessions at 65gy and hormones for between December- May 2019.

Anomaly PSA jump of more than 25%?
I am not happy with husband's doctor as I pushed to have PSMA-PET done after this jump (before this last
PSA
there was 6 years of stable
PSA
following RT w/o ADT), but both husband and doctor said, wait.

Heidelberg update
The
PSA
went down from, 0,7 to 0,1. He still is in the program until next year and has to fill out a questionnaire every 3 month, has
PSA
tests and blood work done. It looks like the government pays for this, because he was enrolled in this study. So far so good

ED no more
We stayed for 4 months and my
PSA
dropped to 0.14 and cleared up my mets. The following year my
PSA
started doubling again so I went back. This time I had one more round of Lute 177 that completely restored my spine and cleared up some remaining mets.

Sharing My Good News
Following a PSMA my MO thought the largest tumor in my left acetabulum was the culprit so after several rises in my
PSA
over a year long periods, only that tumor was radiated. That returned my
PSA
to undetectable where it remained for about a year.

Discontinue all antioxidant supplements on early signs of biochemical recurrence?
The latest literature appears to indicate a
PSA
as low as 0.03, regardless of the multi-result dynamics is a reliable very early confirmation of biochemical recurrence.

No indication for Docetaxel ?
PSA
undetectable last month. Zoladex plus Erleada for ever now, more details in my Bio. I´ve asked my MO about having Chemo now to be more agressive, but she discarded it, claiming that there is no studies proving that this "triplet" would be of any good at my stage.

Post-prostatectomy cancer status + treatment
Scholz is saying, even if my
PSA
comes back undetectable, he suggests treatment (this is what adjuvant means). It doesn't matter what my first
PSA
reading is. 2. Dr.

Enhancing my urinating experience?
This, coupled with rise in
PSA
, triggered my oncologist to order both MRI and PSMA scan. Would appear things are progressing and got referrals to radiation oncologist and urologist. Met first with urologist who strongly recommends scheduling a TUAP procedure.

From the paper: [i]Introduction[/i] [i]The prostate-specific antigen (

tests because of unsubstantiated outcomes.

Is there hope despite the pain? Is Cabometyx worth it?
LD has a
PSA
of over 1300 at last count and bone mets/fatigue/anemia that keep him in bed most days. He gets transfusions every 3-4 weeks to help with the anemia. It seems like we've tried everything. Pluvicto wasn't the miracle we were hoping for.

Recently diagnosed and trying to work out what to do! All advice gratefully received.
I have a
psa
of 7.7. Gleason Score 3+4 = 7 one in 10 cores with a 2.5mm tumour length whoich is 20% of the core involved. 30% of cores showed cribreform pattern 4 glands. Area of concern on MRIs consistent on both MRIs and is where the positive biopsy was taken.
