Is treatment working?

You need a PSMA pet scan. That can find a metastasis somewhere in your body usually. You need whatever’s causing that rise in PSA to be zapped so that you can get back to normal again? You really need to discuss this with your doctor and try to get this test.

There really isn’t any other way to find What is causing your rise in PSA.

The drugs you are on should have dropped your PSA down, to undetectable, The fact that it didn’t drop means that there’s definitely a metastasis or multiple metastasis somewhere.

This is discussed in the PCRI conferences. Some of the doctors strongly believe in just waiting for the PSA to rise finding the metastasis and zapping them. That can get you back to normal.

Chemotherapy or Pluvicto Are two other options, but they normally have to find metastasis using the PSMA PET scan before they will do those procedures.

Yes, PSMA completed.
Dr has suggested one mote ADT try before Chemo and then Pluvieto.
I told the Dr i will try anything that will work as what we are doing now isn't working.
