I had two scares. I had traces of blood in my urine and my bladder needed to be checked. I was terrified that the cancer had spread to my bladder, then the numbers change dramatically. Well the bladder was clear and I learned prostate cancer does not spread to the bladder. Next the urologist said I needed a PET scan, apparently the new protocol is if any sample was over 50% carcinoma they need to check for spread. I asked where prostate cancer spreads and was told the lymph nodes or the bone. Ouch. With 3 weeks to wait on the scan bad thoughts started to creep in . Anyone who is facing a PET scan who claims they have not considered their mortality is lying.
But the oncologist said he was wrong, it's not 50% of any one sample, it is if over 50% of all the samples are cancer I had 2 out of 16 so she told me to cancel the scan. After that I relaxed. No chemo, 30 minute treatments 5 times a week for 4 weeks and I am done. Can't wait to ring that bell.
