Husband’s low psa, aggressive Gleason 8

My oncologist said they hope for a 0.00 PSA, because if the cancer cells have no food (testosterone) they will starve and hopefully die (at least that is my basic understanding). Expect that if it doesn’t get that low they will try different meds and approaches. From point of view your husband is on the right track. Best of blessings to you both.

That’s interesting. I’ve never heard of a .00 PSA, Testosterone at that level, but PSA may never hit that low. < .01 is Considered undetectable by some, < .1 Is considered Undetectable by others.

Is your oncologist saying that your PSA must be below .00, so .001 would be acceptable? Or, are they saying that it will be completely eliminated? Something that just doesn’t seem to happen.
