Thank you for sharing. I was in a similar situation to yourself 2/3 months ago but my PSA started rising again after firmagon, docetaxel, Orgovyx and Nubeqa took my PSA to 2.07. My oncoligist arranged FoundationOne Liquid CDx 'Molecular Tumour Biomarker Testing' for me, and I expect results at the end of next week or early the following week. As of today I'm still taking Orgovyx (Relugolix) and Nubeqa (Darokutamide) daily, I have some right hip and groin pain at times that panadol seems to contain at present. Until the test results are back and analysed I won't know what the plan for me will be. Targeted therapy has been mentioned. I hope your good treatment continues. I will report on here again shortly.

Is there some reason you have not had a PSMA Pet scan. It sounds like you’ve got some bone metastasis that could be zapped with SBRT radiation.

Doing that scan would allow you to have targeted therapy. The biomarker really is not going to help in that regard, You need the scan to see what’s going on.

Staying on the drugs, can be beneficial, If they can zap the metastasis, you have, then the drugs can usually prevent it from reoccurring.
