psa 5.6 Gleason 7, Mets to ribs???

[Blackmustang]

PSA 5.6 Gleason 3+4 though oncology states is unfavourable due to the number of positive cores on both sides

Bone scan positive for Mets to both ribs but am going for a Psma pet as drS Say unlikely with such a low psa. ?

A PSA value of 5.6 is more than suffisant for a PSMA PET.

I had Gleason of 4+3 and PSA of 8. Bone scan showed up hot spots and I went for PSMA scan.

Showed mets in skull, ribs, hips. pelvis. PSA does not seem to be a very accurate guide in some cases.

Have the scan and see what is offered. I went onto ADT with Abiraterone and Prostap, which kept PSA as unmeasurable, but after 4 years the side effects got pretty unbearable, so I am having a break and feel much better.
