First time on this discussion board!
For reference of medical care, I’m in the Dallas, Tx area.
I’m still in planning of care stage.
I’m 59.
Heart Transplant recipient Dec 2021 (very recent)
4.6 psa
MRI first due to lowered immunity
Biopsy came back as 3+4=7
7/14 positive, 3)3+4 4)3+3
MRI and Bone Scan shows no spread outside seminal vessel
Beginning stage of interviewing Dr’s for treatment
I feel most Dr’s push for type of treatment that their good at…..
I’m on the fence as to ADT Lupron injection. I’ve been advised 4 month shot to ensure no micrscopic cells, but reading side effects cause me concern.
No mention yet by any Dr of performing a PSMA Pet scan.

We didn’t get PSMA Pet until looking at recurrence, prior CT and Bone scan.. We are also Gleason 9 at RP.. I know insurance wants to see the steps of intervention first and the threat of Gleason score severity
