As you probably have already guessed your cancer has spread outside the prostate. The finding of “ PSMA avid metastatic lymphadenopathy in the pelvis, retroperitoneum, and mediastinum.” indicates the spread of prostate cancer to these regions. This finding, often detected through PSMA PET/CT scans, suggests advanced stage IV prostate cancer.

2.1 cm LEFT superior mediastinal node with max SUV 8.0 is suspicious of a malignancy in the lung.

This report shows a lot of issues, You need to speak to your doctor to get clarity on what else is going on.

In this situation, there is usually a recommendation for triplet therapy To stop the cancer from growing and to use chemo to try to eliminate in other areas of the body.

Thanks, jeff. Yea, I thought I saw "You're Screwed" in big red letters at the top of the report.

Kidding aside, I'm not looking for anything close to a cure. I just want to slow it down enough for my heart failure to kill me before the cancer does while still maintaining an acceptable quality of life. Dr and I have already discussed this. We'll see what's up tomorrow now that he'll have the scan in front of him.
