Bone scan with PSA 13?

Pleased to hear your bone scan has come back normal David 👍🏼
My dad has a PSA of 14 with a T2/T3 cancer with suspicion of invasion of capsule, A Gleason score of 4+3=7 and 3+3=6, His consultant has said he doesn't think it has spread elsewhere (don't think he should have said that as I am now holding on to those words for dear life !!) He is having a bone scan on Wednesday of next week, I'm now feeling worried that people are saying this isn't usually routine, fingers crossed for good results

Mazdad, my meeting is dated for June 21st. No planned phone call first, Lister, Stevenage.
It's the lymph node worry for me. They took them all out, so I am hoping that IF anything had got there (nothing showed on MRI), then it has been removed, but that may be wishful thinking. 'Live' pathology during the RP showed negative margins everywhere hence they spared both nerves. It's the microscopic spread possibility......however unlikely!
Belly button wound still a bit open, being looked at every 2 days locally, but it's ok.

Vivienne, thanks for your comments and good luck to your dad.

Just a warning note about side effects: surgeons don't always tell you about lymphodoema associated with lymph node removal. In my case, my left leg is appreciably fuller than my right. The lymph fluid doesn't drain so well with part of the system removed and gathers in one or both legs. You may be offered support stockings (which I found useless, dropping like Nora Batty's) and massage, which can give some relief, but is of course temporary. My answer is to prop up my feet on a footstool when sitting down or try to sprawl with my feel on the sofa arm (when the dog gets off and lets me!).

I was very glad to learn that my lymph nodes were clear, but how I wish they could have been left in situ and scanned somehow to tell me that! No doubt one day that will be possible.
