In 2023 his psa was 2 and in 2024 it was 154. He has had multiple scans but I think I’m going to ask them to do another one soon. The dr at Md Anderson said pet scans really don’t show prostate cancer so he prefers ct scans. Tell me about the belt or better yet a link maybe. If it will help we will get whatever he needs. Oh and we do know his is all over his bones .

Are you sure the doctor said that a PET scan doesn’t show prostate cancer? The PSMA Pet scan is the industry standard for finding prostate cancer in a body.

If you think he doesn’t produce PSMA so the scans show nothing then ask about the FDG scan. FDG can find cancer that doesn’t produce PSMA

Following. No PSMA Pet Scan? Specifically, a PSMA PET SCAN not just a regular PET Scan.

We are considering Prevenge because Dad doesn't think he can handle the pluvicto treatments. Can you tell me how yours is doing? We are Memorial Regional and unsure if the Radiology Oncology is exagerating or over imploding microscopic cancer ........ this is all over Dad's bones as well. However, prostate cancer is slow and we are banking on the slowness of the progression.
