@ucla2025, hi and thank you for taking the time to respond to my post and questions.
Had your husband had a PSMA scan before as well or just this last one?
We just got the results of his scan and it whiplashed us. It noted no nodule involvement nor bone or other activity only to be told today (by surgeon that did RP surgery) that th scan is only 40% accurate. Of course the actual RP pathology would be the most accurate. That did indeed verify that 2/9 nodes were shotty, SVI and bladder neck involvement. Ugh. A blow to our hope we had thought we were getting. We are of course still optimistic that the scan didn’t detect any cancer in his bones or other organs.
I sat on the phone much of yesterday persisting he be seen by the doctor that performed his surgery. They were able to get him in today. That made us both feel better about starting a rapport with an actual doctor and not just the nurse practitioner.
His next PSA test will be on 12/9. That will determine the next steps to take.
Thank you again so much for taking the time to share your experience and advice.
Kindly,
SR
