PSA still rising

Hello Lexi26 

I think I would be asking for the PSMA-PET scan. It may have been turned down last time as the PSA needs to be above 0.2 for it to be effective. You need to know where the source of the PSA is to treat it.

Here's a link to the full list of questions which may help you next week:

Questions For My Team.

Do please let us know how he gets on.

Thanks for your reply.  The reason they gave for refusing PSMA scan previously was that it shouldn’t be used to decide on HT when someone has had prostate removed and had RT.

 I’d of thought if a Consultant requests a test then it’s performed. We’ll be pushing for it at our appointment. 

Hi Lexi26 PSA is still very low.  Can I ask if your OH is on HT?  If not, that would sound to be the first option.  If he is I think the PSA needs to be higher before a PSMA PET will be requested.  Only my thoughts and no medical experience.  David

Hi David 

the oncologist is trying to avoid HT for as long as possible. We’ll see if this is the case next week.

Thanks, take care.

 Lexi26 please keep us informed.  Sounds like your team are doing well.  David
