@heavyphil I don’t know Dr hasn’t seen PET scan results yet I got the results same day of PET scan.I think he will wait a few months and take another PSA and PET scan.

@celtic Yeah, he might be waiting for the PSA to go higher, in the hopes of seeing something he can zap…
But it’s a double edged sword: wait and SEE it…or wait and have it spread, still unseen.
It’s really tough to sit by and wait when your mind won’t allow it.

@celtic At 2.68 should be able to see with the PET. Was the 0.08 with ADT? What is your PSA doubling time (when did you last have a PSA about 1.34)? That is a good indicator of Cancer if that was rapid.
