Hi all, I'm new here. I am the spouse of a man with the following diagnosis:
A. Prostate, hypoechoic lesion, core biopsy: Prostatic adenocarcinoma.
Gleason score 4+5=9, Grade group 5
Gleason pattern 4: 90%
Gleason pattern 5: 10%
Quantity: Carcinoma involves 3 of 3 cores, representing approximately 95% of the tissue.
Perineural invasion: Present
Additional findings: Intraductal component identified.
CT pelvis showed fullness in the right posterior lateral mod prostate, measuring 2.4 x 2.1 cm and a 7 mm right perirectal lymph node, indeterminate. Nuclear medicine bone scan showed no findings.
SBRT to prostate and second round to perirectal lymph node. PSE now less than 0.1
Quarterly Lupron shots, Zytiga 500 mg (2) and prednisone 5 mg.
Tolerating medications with symptoms of tiredness, loss of strength and medication brain fog.
You all seem to have a wealth of knowledge. How concerned should I be?
