Orgovyx before surgery

I'm kind of planning on salvage radiation after surgery. I have a consult at Mayo (JAX) end of this month to discuss. One thing with these Centers of Excellence, you have to plan in advance. The wait times are long. PET CTs at Mayo were 6-8 weeks out while the private sector (US) can have you in in a week or two. That doesn't make a ton of sense to me.

That happened to me as well with Sloan - their PET schedule was backed up for a month so I had to go to private center.
The isotopes decay fast so they can only get 2 or 3 per day at these large centers. Smaller facilities don’t do as many so they can “ a la carte” you more easily.
