Hi All,
My history so far is:
Transperineal biopsy (24 core) found 23 clear and 1 core with 5% PCa (G4) in targeted suspicious area found on MRI scan. G4 well contained, wide margins, within prostrate. Result G3 + 4 = 7.
Lesion appears to be growing at a rate of 1 mm per year based on 2 yearly MRI scans (last one a few weeks ago).
Still a wide margin from the edge of the capsule.
Currently on AS since being diagnosed in 2022 with 3 monthly PSA testing. (PSA is stable averaging around 6.20).
Prostate quite large at 71cc.
TRUS in past has not found PCa within the Lesion area but did find a small amount elsewhere (G 3+4) from the 24 core samples.
Urology are requesting a further TRUS biopsy within the next few months.
My question is, if the forthcoming TRUS finds a significant amount of PCa within the lesion area then intervention will probably be needed but if the TRUS finds nothing within the lesion area where do I go from here ?
It appears that AS might no longer be an option.
I'm just trying to get prepared for what could be coming.
