Hey surf...is this a repeating trend or just a sample of 2? When you're dealing with usPSA down to the thousandths, an infected splinter can show a detectable rise. In any case, hope you guys get the treatment and drugs you want. FWIW, my Medicare Part D covers Orgovyx and Nubeqa. Max out of pocket is $2,100 (which I meet in January with the first refill of the year). Not that they actually work for me, but then again, I'm weird. 🤣🤣🤣
As always, wishing you guys the best!

@mjp0512 Would you mind sharing which Part D plan you have? My husband is going on Medicare soon and I am very concerned about his Orgovyx and Nubeqa being covered. Thank you!

Hey mjp : ), thanks for the info about Medicare and related cost. It is a lot, but since my husband still works it is very important that SA are minimized : (.
uPSA went from less than 0.014, to 0.014 , to 0.015, to 0.018, to 0.026, to 0.05 (we do test every month), so increase is steady and trend is upward : (.
Because my husband has high risk features, his MO suggested during our adjuvant RT discussion (November 2025) that if he ever has PSA rising that 0.05 could be an "action point" and treatment started at (or little before) PSA 0.1 for the best results. Some studies show that if patient ever reaches 0.03 after RP, that that person has great probability for BCR in the future. *sigh His urologist was optimistic since his first uPSA was less than 0.014 but alas, my husband is always "outside of expected" statistics from the very beginning.
Sending best wishes back 💗 !
