PSA six weeks after radical prostatectomy
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: Mar 16 2:16pm | Replies (14)Comment receiving replies
Had my psma pet scan yesterday. It shows spread to two areas that seem atypical for prostate cancer.
1. Uptake in multiple retroperitoneal lymph nodes.
2. Nonspecific uptake in hilar mediastinal lymph nodes, metastatic disease cannot be entirely excluded.
I have my follow up with urologist next Wed. These results lead me to a couple questions.
1. Has anyone here received similar results?
2. I want a second opinion. Has anyone used a virtual service like offered by Cleveland Clinic or Cedar Sinai?

I have not used a virtual service, but this seems like a good idea. You have a lot of data they can review. Also, their second opinion may be useful to an Oncologist you choose for treatment. I'm sure you have a list of questions for your Urologist next week but if you're like me sometimes after getting home and digesting the consult I have further questions. A virtual meeting with a second party would be a good place to ask these new questions in addition to your Urologist. Good luck and I pray your future treatments will be successful.

dwb1, not sure where you had your initial radical prostatectomy, but would highly recommend using the best possible center of excellence for your second opinion. I was treated at Mayo-Rochester -- Sorry, I don't have any experience with virtual services at this location.
Best of luck with your follow-up treatment!!
