This statement I made was wrong

“ Really strange they want you to hold off on Darolutamide, Which doesn’t reduce your testosterone so it doesn’t have any effect on the PSMA pet test.”

Darolutamide would reduce your PSA and thus make the PSMA pet test less reliable. Not sure why I didn’t get it right the first time.

@jeffmarc thank you for the diligent follow up

I think I now understand my doctors insistence on having a scan before making a call. My primary complaint with respect to this recurrence is that we waited a bit too long with respect to how high the PSA.

There’s a school of thought that says letting it run a little bit makes for a better scan, and it’s more art than science in choosing when to restart ADT. However, I do think there is generally a lack of urgency in things like scheduling scans and the RT.
I’m being treated in New York City and sometimes I forget that there are other guys out there who may need a scan. And gals too.
