A PSA question

Posted by stew80 @stew80, Jul 26 10:29am

I started Eligard in March this year (2025). PSA dropped from 10 to 0.6 a month later. Then in May it crept up to 0.7.
I recently began 20 sessions of EBRT (8 done to date). Had a PSA test this week (now 5 months into ADT). It's still 0.7.
I'm wondering - is this the 'nadir' for me and why doesn't it go to undetectable? I'm 4+5 with no spread beyond one seminal vessel. There is cribriform evident.

This is one reason I asked about the history of PSA.

I now in fact work on making myself less available

What was the injection? My husband has prostae cancer and his PSA was 38.8, biopsy confirmed cancer with gleason score of 9/10. He received cancer pills everyday for one year and lupron injection for two years. So far, PSA is zero.

Does he have metastatic cancer?

No, at least not now, meds still in his system so won’t know for sure for several months

Well I'm glad for you because I do;although my urologist said I'd be ok as long as i take my nubeqa and injections every 3 months. I pray for your husband that his doesn't spread. Thanks for your reply
