I know it’s highly unlikely that the pain I’ve been experiencing in my right flank, kidney area is related to my PCa. As earlier stated Gleason 6, Last PSA 5.4. Due to see my URO again late March, PSA before visit, he will have results, coming up time for second MRI and biopsy.
Is the MRI a good enough diagnostic tool to show PCa spread or should I discuss the PSMA PET scan. My right flank pain has been consistent for a few weeks now. No fever, no blood in urine. Some nausea, also feeling of low energy even after a fairly decent sleep.
Pain prevents me from lying on right side, is felt just from light touching or pressure, presents mostly as a dull ache, but sometimes catches me out with an intense presentation.
My URO and from my own research and readings, plus this invaluable forum informs me that I have low grade PCa and the chance of dying of something else is far greater then it ever changing from a Gleason 6. Just concerned about this pain.
Thanks for anyone’s guidance/advice/input.
Regards
Ian
