Stage 4 prostate cancer for 7 years now
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: 7 hours ago | Replies (6)Comment receiving replies
I assume you mean you stopped ADT 6 months ago and your PSA went from 0.30 to 0.68?!? There is no surprise here. ADT was keeping your disease in check and now it's not. PSMA PET scan will find where it is. What can be targeted will be (SBRT or the like). What cannot be targeted will require systemic therapy. (ADT/ARSI, chemo, etc.)
To keep it simple:
Step 1 - Find it. (PSMA PET)
Step 2 - Kill / Control it. (radiation, ADT/ARSI, chemo, etc.)
Best wishes!

@mjp0512 Thank you for your attention. During my 10 years treatment after surgery, I have had 4 Pets scans and only in 2023 one result showed a small cist in my pelvic and it was treated with 5 radiation sessions. Most PET scans have found nothing; with and without contrast.
