When was your first PSA test after RP ? (after how many days)

Just got the CT scan results. There is a cyst in my kidney That has grown a lot since 2020. It says follow up with another CT scan in a year, but it could be a problem since its cause is indeterminate.
L4 on my spine has some negative issues. It was zapped last year because it had a metastasis wrapped around it. Some of the tissue has become more dense. Need more information.
I need to speak to my oncologist to find out exactly what she thinks all this means.
I will follow up tomorrow.

jeff,
So sorry for your less than stellar lab/scan results. What an unwelcome stressor. This evening, we are toasting ( with green tea) your continued success in the ongoing fight with PCa. May tomorrow bring you some very positive feedback and explainations from your oncologist!

I am sure that your oncologist will have some ideas and answers, she was always very responsive and super smart so far. 👍 I know that those kidney cysts can be benign and are often seen and discovered by accident during CTs and it is very realistic possibility since it was there before. 🍀 CT can see weird and unrelated things - I for example have benign cyst in my liver and I even have unidentified "artifact" on the left side of my lower abdominal wall 😬 ?!?!?! The comment said : "probably result of previous procedure", meaning somebody left something after surgery BUT , I NEVER HAD SURGERY 😵💫 So ...👽 ???
I am keeping my fingers crossed that your L4 is "nothing" too 🍀✨.
I was just thinking - did you check your thyroid function recently ? Sometimes it can effect wight and RBC count. Just a thought .

Wishing you the best in sorting out what's going on, Jeff.
