Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) with Prostate cancer

Yes, I had all my testing and diagnosis with Advent, but have also been to Moffitt and they did a 2nd opinion of my biopsy slides and had the exact same results as Advent so I’m happy with that. Also have visited with Mayo in Jax. I have a meeting next week with Dr. Nainesh Parikh at Moffitt who is a leader in PAE. His videos talk about advantages of PAE. My prostate isn’t that large, 41 ml, but I would say my urinary issues before any treatment is about a 3-4 on a scale of 1-10. This is one of the reasons I want to get PAE. My hope is also that it reduces my tumor size slightly which Dr. Nainesh Parikh said he’s observed. Not enough to kill the cells but it has shown it may shrink the lesion.

That makes sense to me. That was one of my questions for the IR tomorrow, whether there’s a chance as the prostate shrinks if there will be an effect on the Ca cells. Do they die, become dormant or does it not affect them?? Shrinking the lesion is welcome!
I’m a retired RN but this is way out of my specialty, so I’m learning so many things from everyone here. Not to mention a totally new language. In our lives. I appreciate you all. We went to Tampa because I didn’t care for the urologist’s explanation of atypical cells. Moffitt changed his diagnosis from the previous pathologist’s of atypical to cancer. So now we are testing more freq. so it was worth the trip.
