Prostate cancer in the brain???

here is a follow up I got a copy of the MRI they were looking at a 0.5 nodule concerning for possible enhancing metastasis. I got a pet scan scheduled for the 11, I contacted my oncologist and he set up an appointment for the 14. The good news he does not think that is secondary to my prostate cancer. The bad news he set me up with a Neurosurgeon and the Neurosurgeon wants to see me even before my pet scan. So I am going in to see him on the 6th, and hopefully he will give me some idea of what is going on

It is definitely good news that your oncologist doesn't think the spot is related to your prostate cancer, and I don't think the appointment with the neurosurgeon is bad news at all--he or she is a person with expertise in brain lesions. It will be good for you to have that doctor's evaluation of your MRI and his or her opinion soon, followed quickly by the PET scan, which will be valuable to both your oncologist and neurologist. You are making real progress getting to the bottom of what showed up on your brain.
