Just had our first telephone consultation giving us histology report.
Downgraded to Gleason 7 (4+3) but unfortunately upstaged to T3a. All 15 lymph nodes were clear. There was some EPE (5mm) and mention of less than 3mm margin. I have written down multifocal but can’t remember what this referred to or what it means. Any ideas?
Referral to oncologist being made. PSA to be rechecked in another week.
When I asked about PET scans he said that the Oncologist may refer for PSMA scan but would be London (we live in Scotland). I asked if a choline scan would be beneficial and he said not for PCa......is that correct?
I asked why there had been no mention of commencing PDE5 (purely for penile health not for ED). Surgeon said he likes to have his first consultation before prescribing. He said he will write to our GP asking for Viagra 100mg three times weekly to be prescribed.......is that the norm?
So much to take in and difficult over the phone.
Thanks for listening 🌹
