My husband was in the same boat in 2021. Went in 2Ta but ended up with 3Tb after surgery: very tiny trace of cancerous cells in the right seminal vesicle (about 0.1 mm). We got three second-opinion after surgery. All specialists said that the cells were so small that they weren't picked up on the scan. Since my husband was only 47 at the time, all specialists we saw agreed to do "wait-and-see," which his PSA had been undetectable for almost 5 years. He currently has recurrence with one PSMA-positive lymph node on right external iliac. He's now on Orgovyx and will get radiation as soon as we get the pre-authorization on the procedure.

@prettypass2000 appreciate the commentary. While it might not seem it, it does provide some comfort. Still, sorry you are going through this. Sounds like a plan is in the works. Onward.
