Hello Everyone,
Good News to Share, Met my RO for 2 hours and went over all my result, he confirmed that there was nothing to worry about, ECE showing up in my PSMA_PET scan was all the liquid from the wound from HeLOP not healing fully (false positive) I asked him what would be the sure proof way to make sure, he referred me back to my urologist for a biopsy, went through Transrectal biopsy no issues at all, full recovery after 24 hrs- Biopsy results all 14 cores 3+3 perineural invasion not present, no extraprostatic tumor present

It’s nice to hear that you only have a 3+3. The PSMA Pet can be Unclear about what’s really there?. It also can’t see metastasis smaller than 2 1/2 mm and UCSF radiologist says even 5 mm is hard to see.
My brother was Able to go six years before his 3+3 turned into 4+3. That is not unusual. Keep up your PSA tests like others have said.
One thing puzzled me, You say 14 course but how many were 3+3, Not all of them, I’m sure, The way you wrote it sort of implied that but I think that’s Not what you meant.

@mauk That’s GREAT news! Please be sure to stay on schedule for 6 month PSA’s for a while.
Since you did have some 4’s in your original biopsy, that issue can arise once again; stay on top of it.
