Hello Everyone,
After being dignosed with prostate cancer at the age of 57, gleason 4+5 pT3a I had RP in april 2019 ,shortly after my psa dropped to 0.02 where it remained for 1 year,then slowly started to rise at approx 0.01 every 3 months,i have become very concerned because the rate of psa rising has recently greatly increased.as you can see from the data below my psa rose by 0.06 in just 1 month and has more than doubled in 5 months ,i have an appointment with urologist tomorrow but i believe i need a PET/PSMA Scan which is not available in my public health as i live on a small island in the canary islands, i will have to pay privately at a cost of 3000 euros.
I would really appreciate any information or advice on my situation.
