An update on were I'm at and hopefully some insight and perhaps guidance from all the collective wisdom gathered here.
Diagnosed Dec. 2015 PSA 13.4 Gleason 5+4=9, RP Jan 6, 2016, followed by 33 sessions of SR to the pelvic bed.
July 26/18 PSA 2.1 Ga-PSMA results Subcentimeter Lymph node mild PSMA uptake with a SUV max of 2.3
Treatment: Aug 4/18 started 6 month ADT. Sept 24/18 surgery removing Lymph node, nodes biopsied post surgery showed negative cancer.
March 20/19 PSA 0.011
Sept 2019 PSA 2.1 Ga-PSMA results no expression
Jan 27/20 PSA 5.8 Ga-PSMA results no expression
Dr. Nat Lenzo out of Australia has talked about the PSMA being turned off and on, but I don't understand how it's working in my situation?
Is there any reason that anyone can see for my non expression of PSMA? Has anyone had a similar experience?
The Doctor in LA that reread my Jan/20 scan from UCLA could not answer that question with my PSA being 5.8?
He did comment that the first scan was probably a false positive being a mild expression and a negative biopsy.
I am thinking that a nine month course of ADT is next. Looking at Lupron with Bicludimide. I am in Vancouver.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
