I am in my very comfortable home on a lake, hopefully getting better from the recent really scary diagnosis of acute liver failure. Even I was worried. The cancerous

another quick update
I am now back home . My gall bladder has calmed down so the plan is to have it removed in next 10 weeks ( that’s the waiting time ) My biggest concern now is that the CT scan I had on Monday has revealed a 5cm mass in my stomach. I am awaiting a CT biopsy which my haematologist has requested as

Accuracy of PSMA PET scan?
What would you venture to guess is the accuracy of the PSMA PET scan? How many of you showed "no spread" with your PSMA scan, but then learned via surgery or otherwise that there WAS spread which wasn't detected with the PSMA scan? And, how much better is the new Posluma scan vs Pylarify? My husband

Pluvicto Question
Hi Fellow Warriors! Six months of Taxotere failed miserably. After 8 rounds, I was done. After chemo, my second PSMA-PET showed additional bone mets and a spread to the lymph nodes. My MO told me I was a good candidate for Pluvicto, so, three months after finishing Taxotere, I started that therapy

Next steps after cabazitaxel
Hello again - I've completed six chemo treatments with cabazitaxel alone. PSA has fallen from 83 in early July at the start to 5.1 a couple of weeks ago (after five treatments).

Asking for advice
