Pre treatment it was 80 ng/ml in Mar of 2022. Gleason 7+, Lymph node ( 2) metastasis. I also had 39 radiation sessions . The prognosis is for future spread.
The current goal is to have the PSA undetectable (less than 0.01ng/ml).
So Zytiga was prescribed to achieve the lowest PSA and hope it doesn't go back up. (It's just buying time).
Sorry to hear about your lumbar issues. Sounds like you've been through a lot. Have a good day
