I met John Shen at UCLA hospital in Westwood and I thought that he was great. I was going to ask UCLA urology director, Dr Robert Reiter, to refer me to him as I am 40 months past original diagnosis of G 9, CR locally advanced aggressive PC and I suspect that my PSA will increase soon. I am meeting Dr Reiter in 10 days. Since surgery and a year of Erleada and lupron my PSA has been .01. Good luck in getting a new great UCLA oncologist and I would greatly appreciate you posting your progress in this doctor search!
PS. Nick Donin was my UCLA surgeon and urologist but I am thinking that it is time for a full time oncologist who does not do surgeries

If your PSA remains that low, you really don’t need to do anything but wait, and get regular PSA tests, A Gleason 9 Can be difficult to hear, but some people with That diagnosis can go a long time without recurrence. Never hurts to line up a doctor to treat you when it does rise, but I’m sure they will tell you it’s no time to panic with your continuing low PSA success.
If you are worried that your cancer is not producing PSMA, And as a result, your PSA doesn’t rise, You can get an FDG Pet scan, which would show if there is an issue.
