My Scan Story

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?
