Rising PSA years after radical prostatectomy

I drove 10 hours to Mayo Rochester. Best decision ever. My doc’s approach was to go at the cancer aggressively so that you get ahead of it and stay clear for 10 years +. My University docs wouldn’t do this. I went from stage 4 to clear. Do your homework and ask lots of questions.

My wife asked our university doc why he wasn’t doing a PSMA PET scan instead of a regular PET scan. He agreed it was better but since the insurance generally won’t cover it, they don’t mention it. (We called the insurance and paid the $300 premium. My life is worth it.)

Good luck.

How di you go from Stage 4 which is incurable to clear please? What pills, or treatment

Amazing, I can't imagine NOT using the ultra sensitive PSMA PET scan. Unfortunately we are sometimes our only or best advocate.
