Lymph node spread- what does it mean?

Great advice Dave- thank you. That seems a very logical step to take- to just book in for another one prior to meeting the consultant. I’ll adopt your ‘don’t mess with me’ attitude with the receptionist!

Hi Kate,

How are things going for your OH?

Best wishes

Hi Mark

thank you so much for asking- I did a post under a separate thread . I’m never sure what the etiquette is! A bit of a mixed bag is how I feel things are. We had a last minute call into see the surgeon to get results. So he was pleased with the 0.04 result ( possibly even surprised) because rest of it was a bit pants: seminal vesicle invasion, one positive lymph node and upgrade to Gleason 9 (4 +5) and ‘quite a lot of disease’. Pretty sure there’s going to be reoccurrence sooner rather than later. Another PSA test in 3 months will indicate where things are heading. We did a repeat PSA at the hospital and it was still 0.04.  OH being very positive but accepts that probably got RT coming down the path. Got to hope that will be it for a long long time. 
How are  you doing Mark? X

Mark I’ve just seen your post on your thread. How are you feeling about things? Good that no positive surgical margin- forgot to say OH had that as well. But like you he had a PSMA scan privately and it didn’t pick up the lymph node … so for you you’re waiting for your first PSA test? 🤞 hope it’s undetectable x
