1995 ~~~ Radical Prostatectomy
1996 ~~~ Salvage Radiation.
1996 - 2008 PSA negligible.
2008 ~~~ PSA increased but stayed pretty much below 3.0
2022 ~~~ PSA started to climb
PSA is 22 ~~ Had PSMA -- no detectable cancer.
Started lupron quarterly injections for 15 months. PSA then was < 0.1
Took a lupron holiday for 18months and the PSA started to climb again.
At 12 another PSMA scan ~~ no detectable cancer.
Decided to wait and see for a few months.
PSA was 32 in January this year.
Had another PSMA scan and still no detectable cancer.
Went on Nubeqa and Orgovyx in March.
PSA in June was 4.
PSA this August was .7
30 years. 79 y.o. and still above the grass.

Quite an Elongated story. PMSAPET scan let you down as something is THERE. Glad your still hanging in there. I m 3 years into this and I d be embarrassed to compare my results with you. You ve been thru a poop load of testing. Take care.
