My Scan Story

[wharr]

Hi all...great info shared here that has helped me after my RP...I went from PSA of 2.4 in 2021 to a 4.91 in 10/23..Dr did a 12 core biopsy cause of 3 bro's and Dad all with PC. 2 cores came back with Gleason 7 and an 8. They did a PSMA test with nuclear dye that showed it confined to gland.(also did a MRI with contrast) This scan calmed me down for the 3 months I waited for surgery.Would highly recommend this test if available to you....thanks to all again

Not a Dr. But I would recommend a genetic test. I have 3 boys and wanted to know if they should start monitoring earlier.

Have you had surgery?

Yes...all margins clear and nodes as well...on recovery rehab.Genetic was recommended and will do for son and grandson.
