Interesting dilemma but think the oncologist has it right. Salvage to pick up everything, a PSMA PET may not pick micro mets anyway so my personal view would be to hit the lot in one go. I do find it interesting how the ‘experts’ have slightly different takes on treatment. Hope this helps. David
Hospitals work so differently, my PSA is rising after HT/RT, I asked if I could go back on HT to control the rise , my teams response was that’s fine , however you will need a pet scan first before we do that . It would be interesting to hear their reasons why they wouldn’t give H a scan before , unless they are certain what area to treat ..
Hi Tony thanks for replying. They said that in their opinion as it was found that it had gone into the margins when they removed the prostate extra tissue was removed but they believe that some has unfortunately been missed and it will be in the prostate bed . They will do the whole pelvic area to make sure they get it all.
Thank you fir replying. Just worried they will treat the whole pelvic area with the possible side effects and it maybe somewhere else. Maybe I am over thinking it !
