PSA now .04. What might be next steps?

That mix of drugs may last for many years without the cancer coming back. The drugs can actually shrink the metastasis down to where they can’t be found. I’ve had PC for 16 years and had four reoccurrences. I’m on the same drugs he is and I’ve been undetectable for 27 months. I have BRCA2, which makes my cancer very aggressive,

Your doctor may just want to wait until his PSA starts to rise again. What he’s doing now is working. There may not be a reason to do anything more for now.

I’m going to include a picture of someone that had multiple metastasis, went on ADT (Orgovyx), And the scan shows no metastasis . Your husband may be in the same situation and doesn’t need anything done right now. See what your doctor says, He may just be waiting until his PSA starts right And there’s something that visibly needs treatment. That could take years.

@jeffmarc Hi Jeff thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. That scan is remarkable. I assume at .04 PSA a scan wouldn’t show anything to radiate at this point? I wonder if insurance would even pay for one at this point. Anyway, seems like we are in a pretty good spot considering they did not want to radiate in the abdomen.
