MRi Scan two lesions in prostate

Hi ya

No I'm  not on hormone treatment as been told I'm meeting the urology team and surgeons after the pet scan,

I'd prefer beam radiotherapy and hormone treatment to surgery as I have a over active bladder and a enlarged prostate so could do without any more issues, 

I'm 56 so would the preferred option from the specialists be surgery if anyone knows 

Regards 

Peter

Hi Peter-

Sorry to hear your results.  Will you meet the urology team and surgeons on the same day as your PET scan on 22 Nov, or will that be a separate appt and if so do you know the date ?

Following MRI, I am also currently assessed as T3a.  Biopsy result appt next Wed 20 Nov.  May receive PET scan in due course. Have received preliminary heads-up that surgery is likely to be my primary treatment.

Hello Peter Psb2024 

With your results I would think you would be ok for either surgery, HT/RT or brachytherapy. If you meet a surgeon they will press for surgery, an oncologist will press for the other two.

I would make a list of the pros and cons for each treatment as they affect you and go for the option that suits you best. Use trusted sources like Macmillan, Prostate Cancer UK and this Community for your information (not Dr Google).

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask anything, however trivial.

Best wishes - Brian.

Hello Peroni 

I think the post above to Peter (Psb2024 ) possibly applies to your situation too. Feel free to ask any questions.

Hi Brain 

Thank you for making total sense again

Hi Paul.

Good luck with the scan next week, fingers crossed, no further issues.

With a T3 u are probably better off with RT and HT and u Def can request that.

Best wishes

Hi ya hope your all doing well

I have my PET CT scan next Friday, was just wondering the kind of time frame for getting the results, as most guys and wife's/partners  have been through this terrible wait.

I've been told by the clinical nurse specialist it's to rule out bone metastases, my GP and and couple of members on here have said that is rare for bone metastases with my Psa of 7.7 psa density of 0.15 no spreading in the pelvic area lymph nodes bladder colon ,but I'm still thinking the worst for some reason it don't half mess with your brain, I know many on here have been through this awful wait

Thanks 

Peter
