Biopsy of left seminal vesicle reveals lesions

Hey @guybe, what treatments have you had so far? I know you’re on Orgovyx and Abitarone; was your primary tx surgery or radiation?
Pretty sure that seminal vesicle involvement is similar to EPE, lymph gland involvement, etc. Another clue that the cancer escaped the gland.
I don’t think it changes treatment insofar as radiation is concerned; they will probably add a little more ‘juice’ to the SV’s when treating you. Best,
Phil

@heavyphil Thanks. Orgovyx and Abitarone is correct, started that in February. Original RO's idea, based only on PET scan hot spots, was to charge ahead and radiate two lymph glands, until a second RO wasn't sure about the second supposedly involved lymph gland. So I had further CT and MRI scans, and now the biopsy has confirmed his suspicion: on the left side it's not a lymph gland, but a seminal vesicle. (That first RO is now out of the picture, BTW.)
So onward, with much better info than we had before. I was just concerned that the biopsy's finding of SV involvement might change my treatment goal from "cure" to a lifetime on Orgovyx or whatever else comes along. Anyway, as I said: Onward.
