Locally advanced

[Fdccs]

Do you think it's possible with a PSA of 170 that the disease is locally advanced?

We know lymph nodes close to prostate are effected but bone scan is clear

[Fdccs]

Everything crossed. Just need CT and biopsy results to grade. Never wanted something so bad (to be no further away)

[Tall_Allen]

Yes

[Dayatatime]

Although sometimes similar no 2 men will run the same exact course with this disease so yes absolutely possible. Hopefully you have a doctor that isn't stuck on the "outside of the barn door" theory because if not many mets you have a shot and beating this thing. Don't let anyone tell you any different. Time to roll up your sleeves and get busy.

I would try to get a PSMA PET CT if not done yet. It is much more precise .

What would get rid of micro mets?

[rowboattom]

Understand that you are not a doctor.

Yes, it is quite possible you have locally Advanced PC...you have to fine out through Diagnostic Imaging where cancer cells are hiding.

[DoggieDaddy]

What you are referring to is CTC...Circulating Tumor Cells..I know, I have Systemic Disease but no CTCs have been identified as of today..been in remission for 13-years...I know it is only a matter of time. I will choose ADT when my PSA goes above 0.2ng which is the new landmark number.

Sorry, I meant to write ...if Cancer have found a home somewhere..don’t mean to seem bleak about it.
