New PET scan results confused and a little scared

Prostate cancer in the liver is unusual, but it happens. If it can be caught early, they can operate. If not, they use chemo from what I have heard.

Have they discussed getting an MRI to try to narrow down what it is? You sure don’t want to find out you may have cancer in a certain area, But it’s not certain.. This is a discussion you need to have with your doctors. Ask what further tasks can be done to eliminate it as an issue.

One of the problems with PSMA pet scans is that they can’t see mets Smaller than 2.5 mm and even 5 mm is hard according to a UCSF radiologist. So if they shrink down smaller ADT and/or an ARSI can keep them from growing in the future.

Thanks Jeff,

Yes the dr said we can do an MRI on that but wasn’t overly concerned right now and at the same time has prescribed ADT as well as 38 sessions of radiation to the prostate bed so we’re going to move forward with that and look at the liver after that’s all complete.
