Hey!
My husband (55) got diagnosed a year ago with a high PSA (285!) then CT scan showed it outside prostate and biopsy had mostly 8,9s gleason scores a few 7s.
Urologist referrred to oncologist and he scheduled the PSMA pet scan and to our horror, my husband lit up like a Christmas tree! it was everywhere!! the only symptom was frequent peeing and a bit of ED..... this all triggered ADT (monthly Firmagon injections and daily Zytiga pills with prednisone) and he did chemo over the summer! Then after the chemo he had a second PSMA scan and it was MUCH better! a few spots still there but he's doing "great" overall!
I'd say go for the scan!!

I was Dx'd at age 53 with G9 p3TbN1M0 after my RP. Have since completed 39 RT and 2 years ADT + zytiga. 6 months off treatment and T returned to normal levels. Restarted ADT after BCR and eventually added Xtandi. That eventually failed July 2025. I'm now in a clinical trial for a newer Lu177 radiogland which is going pretty well.
Anyway, make sure the husband stays active and goes to the gym to maintain muscle and Bone density. If I had one exercise I would do farmers carries. Google it It's ideal for BMD.
In addition to playing ice hockey, I ski, play pickleball, hike with a 30lb ruck sack and gravel bike ride. So I do maintain a very active lifestyle.
I'll be turning 60 next week
