What Prostate Zones were Your Lesions In?

@harry100, how are you doing? What did you find out from the appointment with the urologist?

Hello Colleen,
Thank You for asking.🤗
Urologist said I had a 91% of not being cancerous. But there still is that 9%.
So having a biopsy on the 16th.... Not feeling good about the whole thing...

I had 1.2 cm lesion in transition zone, normal 38 size prostate via mri. Cancer more rare there so i was hoping, but it abutted capsule and psa and decipher score not good. Was cancer on biopsy 3+4, intermediate unfavorable so i had it treated

@cianci forgot to mention, pirads score of lesion also an indicator, you get from mri, mine was 5 , the worst, so i lost confidence that it wasn't pc before biopsy, but anything's possible

I have read leasions in the transistion zone tend to be less aggressive and less chance of recurring. The leasion is usually larger & PSA higher. The PZ is were most cancers are found.

@cianci
How are you doing now ? When was your surgery ?

I opted for proton radiation earlier this year, psa fell after 3 months, still needs to go down further. Side effects manageable but not totally insignificant. In other words, i am worse off than before symptomwise, but i hope better off mortalitywise.

Hello.... I'm just wondering what prostate zones mean....and what test would show that? Thanks

@cianci Hello... I'm just wondering what transition zone is...and what test result that would be?

Hi Guys, your PSMA pet scan/MRI would have this zone information
