Hi Bud, well part of me is grateful for the kick in the ass , sometimes we all need it , yes I had a pet scan which found the cancer that was missed , why not have that before surgery??? Mood swings from hormone shots are real but I’ve worked and played hard all my life and quality of life more important at the moment than quantity, you’re right no one knows how long you might survive without any treatment but if I thought maybe 10 yrs I’d be tempted, good luck luck to you

Hey man, crystal balls would be nice, huh?
If you are saying that you did NOT have a PSMA PET scan BEFORE surgery, I think that’s a big problem. Seeing something outside your prostate would have changed your treatment, for sure.
I hope you got a consult from a Radiation Oncologist BEFORE surgery, or did your surgeon neglect to mention that aspect of treatment??
