axium scan results

There is PC on one common iliac lymph node, possible nodular uptake along scar tissue in the deep left pelvic at the ischio spine - suspicion of recurrence. Very mild activity left external iliac lymph nodes and iguinal nodes.

Yes, he will radiate the entire pelvic lymph node area, using more juice on the pc areas. I am on casodex now and lupron. So we will see if this works. I would be happy if this gave me a 10 to 15 year remission because I will be 89 and the reaper will be on his way.

It does sound like you have a solid plan in place...and always helpful when they know where to aim. Best of luck to you and keep us posted!

I had a bone scan for PCa a couple of years ago a few weeks after a fall from slipping on ice. I told them of the fall and said a I thought I might have cracked a rib. The scan showed no cancer but confirmed two cracked ribs.

Howard,
Yes, hoping for clean results from your scan.

With me it's a bit complicated. When I had my SRT in 2010 I had an enlarged lymph node that showed up on a regular x-ray. That node was targeted with a portion of each day's SRT and after SRT my PSA was undetectable for nearly 4 years. So I'm pretty sure that particular node was fried. Two years ago when my PSA was rising again a CT scan picked up a different lymph node that was enlarged and was also causing a partial kidney blockage because it was pinching the ureter. That node wasn't radiated, but the Firmagon shrank it back to normal.

I've now been off ADT for a year and PSA is rising. My doc's plan is to do an Axumin scan in late June. If it shows anything that can be safely targeted we'll do spot radiation. If not I'll go back on ADT at some point - to be decided based on PSA and doubling time.

Let us know your bone scan results. With luck nothing in the bones and zapping the nodes will get you to undetectable.
