Biopsy of left seminal vesicle reveals lesions

@heavyphil IMRT (I think) to the prostate itself in 2022. Steep rise in PSA six months ago (suddenly from 1.0-1.5 to 5.9) prompted a treatment plan for the metastasis. After PET, CT, and MRI I began on ADT. Two lymph nodes were believed to be involved. Radiation was imminent, until the original RO's machine broke down. I went to a new, more skeptical and less hasty RO at Johns Hopkins, who had a new CT and MRI done, and now the biopsy. This has positively identified the left SV (NOT a left lymph node). Looking forward to the better aim, I believe I've dodged a bullet to my rectum.

Hi, Guybe , I am so happy to hear that you finally got some answers and that new assessment is much more encouraging.

Would you mind telling me how do you tolerate Abiretarone part of the treatment ? Also, do you remember what was your SUV (uptake) on those 2 "glands" ?

Thanks so much in advance and wishing you super successful treatment 🍀✨.

@guybe Ah, got it!!
I wonder if your pelvic nodes were radiated in the initial IMRT…probably not if you were using the first RO.
Hopefully, they get it right this time!🤞🤞
Phil
