Is a PSMA PET SCAN the next step

Hey Ken, The damned actuaries just crunch numbers and could care less about human morality - just MORTALITY!
I had to use an actuary to set up a pension plan. He was an odd one for sure. When I retired we spoke about the $$ in the plan, how it would be disbursed, etc.
So he says to me, “You are good, my friend, no worries. You’re gonna be fine to at least 85”. So then I said “Really - you do remember that I had bladder and prostate cancer, right?”
Without skipping a beat he said, “OK, so 75 then”…..just a cold blooded man😂😂

Ouch!
It's usually a bad idea to casually speculate that someone is "on the spectrum" — Autism is a complex diagnosis that needs a lot of time and a qualified psychologist or psychiatrist — but I'm going to make an exception just this once and speculate that your actuary might have been tending in that direction.
I've noticed personally that careers that involve lots of work with numbers, computer code, machines etc tend to attract people who find it challenging understanding and reacting to the emotions of others.
