What is the average age of the gentlemen on here?

Diagnosed @74 now 77 G9 CR , RP and 12 months ADT and Erleada, 17 months drug free PSA .01

I am very similar , a bit further along in the journey in that I was diagnosed at 62 Gleason 6, genomic testing not aggressive. I did active surveillance for 3 years. Psa went up and down and I had three biopsies including the first that confirmed pc. PSA 4.5 at first and 8.2 just before I was confirmed to intermediate pc at age 65. 2 MRI's during the active surveillance period. The first showed not much change. The second showed a lesion and a targeted biopsy produced 3+4=7 Gleason. After consulting with surgeons and radiologists and an oncologist I elected surgery being that they all recommended some sort of treatment with gleason 7. If you research Dr. Scholtz PCRI he often says active surveillance even at gleason 7 but I did not want to chance spread outside the prostate and I was being told that chances were good it was still contained within the gland. I had prostatectomy done at Brigham and Women's in Boston 10/1/21 and just recently my psa was still undetectable. Consequences or new life post prostatectomy is another story which I won't get into here but everyone has their own experiences with the treatments as you will read across the board here on Mayo Connect.

Welcome, @cjb2483. what treatments have or are you having? How are you doing?

I'd like to know how many had 6 month checkups with their urologist with PSA bloodwork. I did for years and still my urologist waited too long to catch the prostate cancer before it became advanced. Gleason score of 9+ and it had spread to lymph nodes.

At 58 years old, I was diagnosed via TRUS biopsy in October 2018 with PSA of 12.4, two positive cores, and G7=3+4. Decipher Biopsy test score was 0.94.

RARP December 2018. Pathology: G7=4+3, EPE, cribriform, positive surgical margins, multifocal tumors. Adjuvant RT to prostatic fossa with concurrent 6 months Eligard summer 2019. PSA undetectable after RT. Second opinion of pathology: G8=4+4, EPE, some intraductal features, cribriform, minor bit of 5, small bit of comedonecrosis, +SM in two locations.

January 27, 2022, PSA 0.21
February 18, 2022 PSA 0.23 = BCR!
April 1, 2022 PSA 0.32
May 6, 2022 PSA 0.40
PSADT = 3.5 months
Negative scans: CT, bone scan, PSMA PET/CT
No target for RT, so it's wait or ADT
May 10, 2022 First injection of monthly Firmagon
November 2022, switched to Orgovyx
After discussions with MO, April 2024, starting first drug holiday of intermittent ADT at age 63

Which Mayo location?

Welcome, @alanp1963. Have you completed radiation therapy? Will you also have hormone treatment? How are you doing?

I am 59 about to turn 60. I have had BPH since I was in my 40's. My dad had BPH and elevated PSA levels starting in his mid 50's. My PSA went from 3.5 to 5.0 in the span of 6 months. I just had a biopsy and It can back benign. I'm under 2 years of monitoring.

Thanks. Radiation therapy has not started yet and I will not be doing ADT after consulting with 2 different radiation oncologists . A very recent study posted on NIH website backs what they said https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9887024/
