Newly diagnosed
Hi everyone. I was diagnosed 2 weeks ago. My PSA was 4.1 in August. This month it's 11.1. My urologist scheduled an MRI which will be done April 11th and a biopsy following that. I've had kidney cancer on both kidneys. 1 surgery in 2015 on left kidney in 2019 the right kidney. My doctors are awesome since I got to keep…
Gleason 6 diagnosis last week. 67 y/o my PSA went from 3.5 to 5.5 which prompted bx.
I had two of 12 biopsies return positive. At 15% and 18% of the core biopsy. Location was left and right lateral and one biopsy showed a high grade intraepithelial neoplasia. I don’t meet with the urologist until the end of April to go over treatment options. I suspect he may recommend active surveillance. Has anyone gone…
injections for ED after hormone therapy and IMRT
78 year old on Lupron since 12/22/2021. Will start 45 IMRT treatments this week. GS 4 (4+3) with 4 positive cores on biopsy staged at T3a and T3b because of neurovascular and seminal vesicle involvement. Has any tried trimix injections for ed?
MRI of Prostate... Lesions
I had an MRI in beginning of 2018... 1 lesion was found... and multiple nodules (PI-Rads 2) MRI at end of 2021 stated, "No nodules found" (PI-Rads 2) I have BPH (143 gm up from 99gm in 2018). My last three PSA's were 6.4, 7.43, now 8.8. Do nodules and Lesions "go away"?
Axumin Pet Scan results
What does this scan tell us? I think it tells if prostate cancer has spread. Does it give any indication of the aggressiveness of the cancer cells? Does it give a Gleason type score?
still at 0.01 but
Had the last lupron treatment in May that was the 6-month shot after radiation and chemo. PSA is still 0.01 but I seem to have a lot of bone pain and I'm still having hot flashes. Is this common or should I be concerned? Thanks for any info you can provide.
Do I need an Axumin PET Scan?
I was diagnosed with gleason 6 prostate cancer 5 years ago. Biopsy 2 was negative, biopsy 3 was prostate (gleason 6 <5% of one core). Ready to get my 5 year biopsy. Had 2 MRI's and they were negative. Should I get Axumin PET now? (My PSA has gone up from 4.5 to about 7.4 in the last 5 years.)
