Odds of cancer spreading to the bones
Had my prostate removed with lympnodes and seminal vessels , LN no cancer, vessels, found cancer, before operation I was a 4+4. 8. After finding cancer in SV. Changed to a 4+5 9, two months later PSA 2.41 , now on to the xternal radiation, and Lupron shot and a bone scan, I’m 78 feel like 50 lifted weights for 45 years, nothing hurts, so the big question what are the odds it’s spread to the bones,
Thanks Don😇😇
DonH. Thats the million dollar question. Been playing with this stuff since 2008. Know its out-cant find any mets though-so good thing. My oncologist says 99% sure its in my spine but too small to detect-except PSA keeps rising. Dont fret it too much-keep hitting the gym and love each day.
Hi
. With a PSA of 2.41 any metastatic cancer should be detectable by a PSMA Pet scan. It is currently the gold standard in locating recurrent cancer spread and this article goes into further detail: https://prostatecancer.net/clinical/psma-imaging-scan. Your doctor should be able to provide additional information. Wishing you the best and please feel free to keep us posted on how you are doing. Richard (ProstateCancer.net Team) Just got bone scan back, no cancer in bones, just in the bed of where the prostate was, thank god
