Age 57. PSA 126. Gleason 9. Have has prostate removed, 7 weeks radiation, 5 weeks radiation, 3 days radiation, and another session 3 days radiation during the past 8 years. Have been on Lupron/Eligard all but 6 months of this time. Have been on Zytiga for 3 years.
We didn’t get PSMA Pet until looking at recurrence, prior CT and Bone scan.. We are also Gleason 9 at RP.. I know insurance wants to see the steps of intervention first and the threat of Gleason score severity
I was 72 when the biopsy came back positive, Gleason of 4-3, PSA 13.5. Had 3 previous biopsy's done with negative results. Mayo Rochester was the only one who found the cancer.
Thank you for this info!
PSA 4.2 Age 72
PSA-29, Age-52
Gleason after biopsy 4+4=8
Robotic Radical Prostatectomy on 8/18/2022
Gleason after prostatectomy- 4+3=7
Will get first PSA test middle of November; fingers crossed.

3 ReactionsMy PSA escalation was dramatic. I was 67 when my PSA went from 22 to 100+ in the span of a two months. Diagnosis is advanced stage 4. A month of Radiation, 6 rounds of Chemo, currently on Eligard + Abiraterone. I've made it to age 69. Living on nerves and feelings.

4 Reactions2.74 age 71, but actually had misdiagnosed primary prostate as early as age 65 with PSA under 2
Was being treated for BPH and had been on Avodart and finasteride since age 62.
There is a doubling factor that was ignored until 2018 when my urologist down South caught it and finally did a biopsy. Gleason 8 stage T3b
Age 67. Biopsy Gleason scores 4+4/8, PSA 6.4. Not metabolized according to biopsy. Blood pressure prevented me from having surgery so went the Lupron/radiation route. 6 months after 1st Lupron PSA was undetectable. Had second Lupron in July. Next blood work due in Dec.
PSA-5.7
Age-68
Gleason score after trans-perineal biopsy 4+3=7
Hypofractionated photon beam radiotherapy over 3 weeks
Started ADT with Orgovyx the week after completing radiotherapy.
Next PSA test will be in six months.
