one year post radiation advice
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: 2 days ago | Replies (15)Comment receiving replies
I’m confused…. Is this indicating that you’re 1 year post-radiation treatment of your prostate and the PSMA PET scan is still picking up a cancer in your prostate (of SUVmax 3.4)? Or am I misreading this?
In this PET scan report, what is the SUVmax of your blood, liver, and parotid gland?

@brianjarvis yes, the SUV max is 3.4 and the outline of the tumor remains.
I only have the addended report from mychart, so I don't know blood, liver or parotid numbers
Radiation was the 5 fraction 20 GY total of 40. Do you think they can re-radiate to a higher total GY of the usual 80GY.
Maybe a person has to wait to see if it really is cancer.
I appreciate your response and will return when I have the other SUV numbers.
