Thanks, everyone. Researching this complex disease has been interesting; fascinating, really. The first biopsy done at local hospital mentioned cribriform; cancer center’s results did not. Jeff, I’m glad you chimed in. I know you have knowledge of lots of people with various cases. The production of psa is puzzling to me in this situation. Most cancer cells produce it, some don’t. I assume his is making a small amount, not sure. I believe there are still healthy cells not radiated that are still producing🤷‍♀️ Dr Sholz says that after one month of adt, there should be a 90% decrease in psa. His decrease was 1.9 to 1.1. But I know it takes time. I will say that the three psa test done so far were with different labs but will be at same going forward. But, he has felt pretty good, just some hot flashes, not too bad.

Also consider —> In neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC), PSA levels are often low or normal, making it difficult to detect using traditional PSA testing.
