It's always something...

So, this year we've gotten off to a bit of a rocky start. At the beginning of the month, we had a great report as hubby's PSA is still non-detectable. Last weekend we lost my brother to stage IV colon cancer with liver mets. This week, hubby is passing some rusty blood in his urine and a small clot this morning - this is new. Wondering if it is related to his ART last May or possibly to his Bicalutamide (apparently that can be a side effect of the drug). No history of kidney stones and no other symptoms. We are freaking out just a bit, worried that the cancer is rearing it's head again (positive bladder margin) - although that seems odd in the face of a non-detectable PSA a couple of weeks ago. Have a message out to the MO - I see a visit very soon. Anyone else experience anything like this?

Sorry to hear of your loss. Just a note to say that all men’s prostate cancer does not necessarily produce PSA. Therefore, PSA is not always an indicator of disease progression. When this is the case, scans such as Axumin can be relied upon to detect metastasis. Certainly not saying this is the case with your husband but you should discuss the possibility with your MO.
