Need Help Interpreting My PSMA/PET SCAN
The prostate is present and contains

seeds. There is a mildly F-18 PYL avid focus in the region of the right seminal vesicle with SUVmax of 4.85. No other abnormal F-18 PYL avid focus is noted within the prostate although there is a low level of the diffuse activity. 2.

Change in Carcinoma
I had low dose
brachytherapy
in 2010 with seeds and success. My PSA started raising again in 2021. I opted for high dose
brachytherapy
and my PSA is 0.1. This year I had difficulty urinating and recently had a procedure similar to a TURP to remove tissue in my urethra near my prostate.

Long Journey
A few months later,
brachytherapy
then 42 sessions of EBRT. Over the years PSA would rise, and I would be put on Lupron for 18-24 months. In 2017, PSA started rising fast. Brought an MO into the mix. I was placed on Lupron, Xgeva and Erleada (apalutamide).

ADT therapy and breast enlargement
Currently doing tri modality for unfavorable intermediate…(ADT prior to
Brachytherapy
, , and some ADT with LINAC… soon). I’m on the fence weather I should continue both ADT drugs after the completion of external beam.. e.g. adjuvant therapy.

Need Help
I had HDR
Brachytherapy
in 2018 to treat prostate cancer. The specifics are now in my Profile. For the past 6 years my PSA has bounced around but mostly under 1.0. In June 2023, PSA was .86 but my Primary Physician noticed that it had elevated 3 times .29 to .35 to .86 in 3 years.

Gleason 6, 1 Yr AS, now Gleason 3+4
The past year I decided I'd go to Dr Kishan for sBRT but since then I am now onto high dose
Brachytherapy
, also done at UCLA in large numbers. This decision is due to less side effects, overall and successful 10 yr outcomes.

Just joined the club no one wants to be a member of in April 2023 - can Gleason 9 be cured ?
Since then I have had 48 seeds planted via
Brachytherapy
and I am about to start EBRT. Has anyone ever achieved a goal of "cure" or even 5 year survival with Gleason 9 ? I am now on Eligard (leuprolide injection) and taking daily 240 mg of Erleada (apalutamide).

My journey thus far
I have also read that a combination of
brachytherapy
, EBRT and a short course of ADT could work in the case of high risk PC. Now that I am really digging in I find the massive amount of available information somewhat overwhelming, but I am much more open to RALP than I was initially.

Prostate-Kidney and BPH Decision for treatment.
Secondary recommendation was for RT • EBRT with 6 months of ADT plus Brachy boost (This seems like the best option to me for potential cure, although HDR
Brachytherapy
as monotherapy appeals to me as well) • RO said if I didn’t want to do the above Radiation due to ADT then he would consider HDR

HDR Brachytherapy
I’m resting up in my UK hospital bed after going through HDR-
brachytherapy
(as a monotherapy) the past two days, to treat intermediate stage (G3+4) PC. I had radiation delivered in two fractions, about 18 hours apart.

Low Dose Seed Brachytherapy Side Effects
My question is: has anyone had LD
Brachytherapy
and how many days did you throw blood clots and have periodic very heavy gross hematuria? RO did a UA with reflex to culture today.

Hemorrhoid treatment after Brachytherapy for Prostate Cancer
I decided on HDR
Brachytherapy
. When I informed my colorectal surgeon that I would by getting radiation treatment, he told me that he could not treat my remaining hemorrhoids, since the rectal area would be subjected to radiation, and that the tissue may not heal.
