PSA Trends after Salvage RT and 6 Months of Orgovyx

Posted by jaacm1 @jaacm1, 3 days ago

I completed 6 months of Orgovyx 4 months ago and finished 39 IMRT Salvage radiation treatments 6 months ago. Just had a ultrasensitive PSA test result of .04. I'm told this is a very good result. I am curious as to what PSA trends others have experienced in the first year after completing salvage radiation and 6 months of Orgovyx. Thank you.

Kevin, My results were in fact < .04 for this second test, not .04. As compared to my first test result which was taken one month after completing Orgovyx and 3 months after the radiation treatments. This first test was done at a different Lab (Labcorp) that used a different assay. That first test came in at .014 and it had no "less than" sign. I'm considering going to take another test at Labcorp now, but I may just take the win and let my anxiety take the next three months off. Thanks for all your help. jim

Since .014 is less than < .04 you are in even better shape, another PSA test really isn’t needed with this low a PSA. You are undetectable with either number.

It could be the first lab doesn’t test below .04 while the second one did.
