PSMA PET 2 weeks after EBRT

So my MO scheduled a PSMA PET 2 weeks after the end of my EBRT.

I didn't argue and did it. Im seeing her tomorrow and will ask why. Maybe she forgot I did

radiation?? Ill ask for another in 3 months.

Meanwhile, the report shows the lymph node is now mild uptake SUV 2.5 MAX.

It was intensely radiotracer avid SUV 24 last year, and abnormal uptake, SUV 6 at 6 months mark.

Its hard to determine if the shrinkage is a continuation of the ADT for the last year, or EBRT.

EDIT ADDITIONAL!!

Mondays PSMA/PET scan 3+ months after end of EBRT!!

Evaluation of lymph nodes: The 5 mm right iliac/pelvic lymph node exhibiting mild uptake seen in the prior study is not demonstrated in the current study.

It was originally 8mm with 24 MAX SUV!!

I hope you didn't have to pay for that useless scan.

I hear you on the "useless" part.

Medicare paid!!!

[Hidden in reply to Tall_Allen]

On the positive it's now a mild uptake, just above blood pool. Lets see in another 2 to 3 months if all that EBRT suffering will have paid off.
