Apparently one has to "qualify" in Ontario. PSA has to be < 20, Gleason score is irrelevant. This tumor also has cribriform cells as well as perineural invasion. Hence was considered risky, and voilà, I qualified. There are only a few hospitals that offer this scan - if you're close to London, chose that one (London health Sciences).2week wait time vs. 4=6 weeks anywhere else,

@hanscasteels . Thanks for your response .
I was aware of the OHIP qualifications -- My issue is finding a Urologist to refer me for a "Private Pay Test " -- No success with four so far . One in St. Catharines & Three in Toronto which includes Princess Margaret Hospital and the Head of Urology at another major Toronto Hospital . There are several private clinics in Toronto , tthe cost is $ 5000.00 -- However they require a referral .
