Thanks for describing your case - would you be so kind to tell me how long ago you had Proton therapy and what were side effects (if any). We do not have proton therapy in our area so I am wondering would it be feasible to endure therapy away from home and travel. Also, what was extent of your PC (gleason , localized or not , etc. ) . Thanks so much in advance.
Thanks for your reply! I am not sure whT you mean here:
« If the 8(4+4) cancers in your prostate don’t exhibit enough PSMA to light up a PSMA PET scan, then if there are other prostate cancers elsewhere, those also might not exhibit enough PSMA to light up a PSMA PET scan either. «
My medical oncologist told me that there was uptake, but not strong enough to be distingushable from non-cancerous tissue. You say thst the 4+4 tissue is covered by other tissue?
