Ya having a pet scan next week then seeing the oncologist the first of the week after . I had one done before the surgery’s / prostate/ lymph nodes. I am being treated at a good place. Just hard to imagine psa 3.26 10 weeks after surgery. It’s was over 13 psa before surgery. Wandering has this happened to anyone in the prostate cancer community? I was told they don’t radiate on anyone til at least 3 months out from surgery to make sure all is healed down there.

Well got my pet scan back and I have 4 or 5 pelvic lymph nodes lighting up. No activity in the prostate bed. And my thyroid has showed up on 2 scans . So just had an ultrasound done on it. Met with the oncologist and starting ADT next week with Radiation starting in first of April. This the norm? Also , is anybody watching what they eat , seeing certain foods can progress cancer?

Yes : (((, unfortunately it happens and we do have members who had positive PSA after surgery. They all had RT very soon after surgery and they were put on ADT before RT to stop cancer growth. They also had PSMA scan to check if cancer is visible and it should be hopefully visible with PSA of 3.26 .
I am glad to hear that you will have another PSMA scan very soon and hopefully you will have in depth discussion with RO and MO very soon too.
Wishing you the best of luck and full eradication of cancer in very near future.
