I KNEW IT !!! OMG - somebody just shoot me !
The first available slot is the June 8 th !!!! 😰
If his uPSA trend continues - my husband's PSA will be 0.56 on June 8th !!! 🤬 WTH !!!!!
I SPECIFICALLY ASKED last month for PSMA to be pre-ordered so that it is ready when my husband hits 0.2 !!! But NOOOOO - no need for that !!!
We called around and found one slot for May 21st in local hospital and we will do it there - my husband will be 0.24 on that day (according to AI) . So, may this be lesson to all - do uPSA testing every month if you have high risk cancer (gleason 9, high Decipher, cribriform, IDC,or positive margins etc.) and INSIST on having SRT starting at 0.25 the latest. Every point increment lowers chance of success by about 10%.
And do not have treatment where we are having it (too late to change now). "CC of excellence", yes my "cute behind".

So sorry for the continued rise in PSA.
Best wishes on getting the PSMA scan asap and be able to start treatments.
You are an incredible support and guide for this difficult period.
Best Wishes.

@surftohealth88 Yes with the recurrence I felt the same time jam. When you are dealing with numbers like .1 and they want to see a trend confirmation, you can start bumping up to .2 and above really fast and the concerns on starting early really override the luxury of second opinions.
