miffed!!
I had a letter last week with the results of tests to see if I have RA or
PsA
. Rheumatologist has said it’s RA even though I have
PsA
symptoms. My hands show extensive grade 2 synovial thickening on both my hands and wrist . Right hand worse and changing shape.

And so it goes.
So after radiation and 2 yrs of ADT/Zytiga where my
PSA
was undetectable - i went on a vacation. Then my
PSA
started to come back - I had an initial PETscan in October 2022 which showed nothing and waited for the
PSA
to rise.

CEA Fluctuations
His
PSA
decreased from 0.72 to 0.68 but I understand that this is not as important anymore as the cancer is now small cell. Scans are in the next 2 weeks so we will know then if chemo is working or not. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

PSA Rising and Erleada Dose Raised
Over time he has also had breaks in treatment, but after 6 months when
PSA
started to rise, he went back on treatment, which took his
PSA
to almost immeasurable. Due to recent major surgery, his Consultant cut his dosage of Erleada down to 2 tablets per day. However, his
PSA
has risen to 8.

Welcome to Stage Denial
It was a
PSA
score of 9.2, the result of a routine blood test in February 2023, had embarked on this exploration Surgery has been ruled out as a treatment option because of the spread. So, various treatment options have been outlined for me including radiation, ADT, and some form of chemo.

Pluvicto Aftereffects SMART syndrome?
He had a hiccup with the supply issues, but
PSA
dropped significantly and his side effects during treatment were perfectly manageable, until .... We were heading to NM via West Texas when he began complaining of bright light and headaches. Then he got suddenly much weaker.

Extra Mammary Paget's Disease.
PSA
rising since, now 6. Due to Ulcerative Colitis, unable to have radiotherapy, so now it's incurable. In March 2023, diagnosed with this new cancer. The frequent leaking was assumed to be the cause of the rash around the scrotum.

His

is at a .09 so it is working well… but maybe will have success with another kind? Speaking with his oncologist on Friday. Any experiences or advice is appreciated. Thank you.

ON 4TH INFUSION OF 177Lu-PSMA-I&T & HAVE EXPERIENCED "BURNING" BACK PAIN?
I am on my 4th infusion (4 of 4) and
PSA
of 2.0 dropped to 0.1 after the 3rd. Waiting on labs after the 4th. I am in the Eclipse Trial at the "Center of Excellence" Nuclear Medical Facility at St. Louis University. After the 3rd started to experience 'burning-like" back pain, at times.

Fluctuation in free PSA (fPSA)
I am on AS and diligent about the
psa
test. Thankfully
psa
readings have been stable. However, fPSA fluctuates between 21% and 28%. Current one was 26% why the fluctuation in the fPSA level? Any significance to the fluctuation ?

Update on failing Enzalutamide
PSA
initially fell, and once I'd recovered from an unconnected major surgery, moved back to the full dose. This floored me with exhaustion and, as the
PSA
doubled (to 3.3) I went back to one-quarter dose. After 3 months,
PSA
had risen (4.4) but more slowly.

looking for advice.
His
PSA
dropped to <0.05. This lasted until September 2020 when his
PSA
started to increase 0.46. And continued to rise. Went to the UK for a PSMA scan as none available in ireland. Scan showed 1 pelvic lymph node involved.

After Zofigo, what next?
He meets with his oncologist in two weeks and just had bloodwork which showed a significant rise in his
PSA
, from 17 to 27 in 6 weeks. Though that's not what we'd want to see, it's not a surprise, since Zofigo doesn't necessarily drive the
PSA
down.
