stew80, 9 weeks of anxiety: cruel. Maybe you could get in on a cancellation. Ask to be put on a cancellation list. Or MRI in hand you could find another specialist for the biopsy. The new contrast agent is making the PSMA /PET very expensive for a cash payer. Close to $5000.

stew80, the $ 5k is a US price. I bet Canada is kinder.

Got a call today that there was a biopsy cancellation, so my date moved up a month! Its now 21 Jan instead of 20 Feb. May not make much difference in the long term but it sure helps to ease the waiting anxiety.
