Editor’s pick: Two men with metastasis sites that raise thorny questions (bn).
Topics Discussed:
His de novo metastasis was discovered less than a week ago — family rallies to his side as he weighs who to see and how to treat; midway through Provenge — leukapheresis yesterday, infusion in two days — what to expect?; radiating a spot near his clavicle means a tricky tradeoff; insurance cutover puts Orgovyx so near yet so far; will node radiation reignite bad radiation prostatitis?; at a treatment crossroads, but his spirits are too low to act; testosterone rising after ADT — why gynecomastia now?; Pluvicto’s been great and he wishes it could last.

Prostate removed in 2009 and PSA has slowly increased to 4 but has accelerated some to about an increase of about 1 per year.
My 2018 Axumin scan showed two hotspots in prostate bed.
Then 2023 PSMA did not show hotspots due to distended bladder with tracer in it.
1. Should the scan provider have made sure that my bladder was empty and should I expect them to do a do over of the PSMA scan?
2. At age 80 and 14 years out with PSA increase of 1 per yr should I just “forget about it”?
