Diagnosed at 58 with 3+4=7 . Prostatectomy 3 years ago , External Beam radiation ( EBRT) 2 years ago . PSA was rising after operation , a little @ 0.14 I got 22 sessions of EBRT . For 8 months it did nothing ... then it went from 0.14 to 0.072 , then to 0.056 , now 0.041 . "The trend in my friend" it appears . PSA can stick to bladder neck and non cancerous cells can be there pushing out PSA at low levels and can grow. PC is very complex in nature . It kills more people every year than Breast cancer yet only gets 2-5% of the funding . Fact !

My information is that if you are a man over 50 you will get prostate cancer. Lots of men have it but are probably unaware. That is why PSA testing is significant…

Your right , Some kill very rapid , while others are not so rapid and remain in background while something else will kill you . More men die of Prostate Cancer than people die of Brest cancer ! Not opinion , Fact ! Yet it only gets 2-5% of funding for research .

79, getting PSMA PET on Saturday. Gleason 7 (4+3) with seminal vesicles invasion. Did a bladder cancer battle in 2008 for about 5 years. I beat it and still have my bladder. This Prostate cancer is much more confusing with so many options. And all of them loaded with undesirable side effects. Why couldn’t I just break my arm😂.

Why did you choose Apalutamide and not Darolutamide (Nubeqa).
