Your situation is not normal, Unless you consider more metastasis occurring, that is causing your PSA to rise, normal.
You need to get a PSMA PET scan to find out where else something has come up.
Your PSA should slowly drop after having SBRT. You could wait three more months and see if it continues to rise but it’s almost definite you have another metastasis with a Gleason 9. They could be so small you can’t see them on a PSMA PET scan
You should have stayed on ADT after having the second Reoccurrence. You actually may Need to be on both ADT and an ASRI to keep your PSA dropping and stable for a while.
I’m not sure where you are getting treated, but the standard of care should’ve had you on both of those drugs after the second reoccurrence For at least two years.
Of course you can always follow the Mark Scholz Treatment plan where you just get continuous PET scans and keep getting the metastasis zapped. With two reoccurrences, your cancer is definitely in your bloodstream and you could find you will have metastasis all over your body If you don’t get aggressive treatment.
You are a Gleason nine, That pretty much guarantees you are going to have reoccurrence. It’s up to you how you want to handle it.
@jeffmarc You are a Gleason nine, That pretty much guarantees you are going to have reoccurrence. It’s up to you how you want to handle it.
I am Gleason 9. I hope that doesn't mean Cancer Reoccurrence is inevitable in the next 10 years when I will be 100!!!
