Hey James, in 2020 diagnosed (PSA 5) .. MRI showed two PIRADS three lesions, fusion biopsy showed several cores of Gleason 6 in each of those lesions- Started AS. Next MRI and biopsy showed the same. Third MRI in 2024 showed only one lesion! I'm thinking things are at least status quo, but biopsy showed Gleason 6 in the lesion, and 4 of the non targeted cores surprisingly showed 3-3+4=7, and 1-4=4=8 cores. None of the three MRI's or PSMA PET scan noted any of the higher grade lesions, psa remained stable throughout. Catheter is a nuisance but tolerable. Low genomic score is only good news. RP on 9/16 went smoothly with little pain or complications, until last night ended up in ER overnight due to severe bladder spasms with spurting bloody urine out around cath entry point. Meds are helping. Scheduled for cath removal on 9/24. Still waiting pathology report.
How are you doing brother?
