I wasn’t having my testosterone checked the first time I had a Reoccurrence
On the second occasion in 2017, it was below 20, But that was as low as they tested it
The third occurrence in 2019 it was below 20
for the fourth occurrence in 2023.it was below 5.

One of my reoccurrences was after being on Zytiga for 2 1/2 years. My PSA never got above one, but it only was undetectable for one month. That’s when a metastasis started growing on my spine. At that time I started Darolutamide and my PSA dropped to .1 and then rose The next month to .2 As the metastasis got bigger, I had it zapped in 2023 and two months later I was undetectable, now 31 months.
The first time was in 2014 when my PSA hit .2 and I had radiation
The second time in 2017 my PSA hit 6.4 before I started lupron
The third time my PSA hit .3 in 2019 showing I had become castrate resistant
