No MRI scan this year

Hello Les, I think the answer to this is very dependent on your age and any family history of prostate cancer

HI les

your stats are low and seem to remain low.

If PSA rising as with myself then yearly prob best.

In your case 2 yr prob ok if PSA doesn't start rising. How about a compromise and go for 18 months if they agree.

u can push for 12 months but they may not  agree obviously.

would be interesting to know the lesion size in mm, if under about 6-8 mm prob not much to worry abou

regards

Steve

I do not know size but they said Pi-rads 4 lesion.

Thank you for you help.

That just means likely to be cancer Les.

If u get the chance ask them for a copy of the MRi report, that should give u the info.

but I think u can relax ... for now

Steve.

I do relax ,,,,but I do not think the brain dose in the back ground. Thanks again for your help.

Les

Know what u mean Les, I think you'll be ok, your stats similar to mine in 2013, your PSA lower though and I'm still knocking around

All the best 

Great question. My husband is currently having chemo and when I asked the oncologist when he would have a scan i.e bone, MRI or pet scan he replied that he wouldn't and that it would only be a PSA test. I am currently looking into this as I cannot understand how a PSA test can show if a tumor is shrinking. Will keep you all posted
