My J lives in New York, USA. He was 66 when he was diagnosed in June, 2020. His initial PSA was 5.60 ng/ml, his Gleason Score was 7b, and he was staged T2a. His initial treatment choice was Surgery (Robotic Laparoscopic Prostatectomy) and his current treatment choice is None. Here is his story.
Pre-surgery Gleason 4+3
June 25, 2020 Radical Prostatectomy (Robotic)
Surgical pathology Gleason 3+4
All good. PSA 0.0 for 13 months.
Then...
01/28/21 -- .00
07/29/21 -- .11
09/08/21 -- .14
10/05/21 -- .23
10/11/21 -- .22
10/25/21 PSA test scheduled
11/05/21 PSA test scheduled
NM 10/09/21 - All good.
Waiting to see if I can get PSMA.
Surgeon surprised considering all seemed to be low risk.
No tests done yet (we're starting) but, after my request, referred me to radiologist.
Radiologist states 2 consecutive +.2 PSA readings should trigger hormones (6 month) + radiation. Not a matter of if but when. And no matter what tests show, prostate bed radiation is a given. Added if I wanted to start now because of my anxiety he would. (Not sure if he was serious.)
Do you have any thoughts?
