Not Good News after prostate biospy when MRI didn't look too bad

Well surgery is Thursday, so no scans until after surgery and the pathologist do all the microscopic of prostate tissue and check margins.

@diverjer Yeah, that sucks! Like @fritzo, who watched a TulsaPro promo a few days before his planned surgery and got himself worried sick about his decision.
I remember your rib situation - since I had a similar lesion on my hip which was deemed not to be spread of PCa.
Also, I don’t remember your PSA but my RO said that a bony lesion would produce much higher PSA values.
And yes, they’ve now found that PSA can stay low in the presence of radiographic spread, so more confusion, right?
Your RO, citing that clavicle lesion, really didn’t do you any favors…that is an often cited - but rare! - case which validated the usefulness of PSMA PET scans, so don’t think it happens every day cause it doesn’t.
Good luck on your surgery!
