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.

Watch this video. They talk about a reduction and in some cases the complete elimination of the cancerous tumor after PAE. Essentially stopping blood flow to it stops its growth and in some cases kills it. I wouldn’t rely on this but it can’t hurt in my situation.
