Is there benefit doing PET scan? I’m getting conflicting views between UO and RO.
UO saying that there is no need on the basis of mri and biopsy that they feel strongly that my treatment with UO should be able to resolve
RO saying that PET can detect anything not covered in mri and biopsy even if there is no spread found beyond organ. Again kind of a situation where patient need to decide

Yes. You want to know if the cancer is somewhere other than your prostate. Waiting for my PSMA test was the most anxious time after my diagnosis of Gleason 7 (4+3). Having the scan come back clean was a huge relief. I still have cancer, but likely contained to prostate!
