We saw hus local urologist last week, recieved good info and felt reassured. He scheduled John for a PET scan (today) and a Radiation Onc on 8/14 to get their opinion. As the Urologist explained a PSA at .25 is a concern because its rising but is still low and his advice is to recheck in 3 months to measure doubling time. But based on what shows on the scan the radiologist may advise some radiation or to also watch the doubling time. We will see what they suggest on the 14th. Our preference is to stay close to home for treatment. The urology team expressed confidence in the Rad Onc MD he is scheduled with. Will know more in a couple of weeks.
