What imaging studies you had and what contrast agent was used?

Have you been through the NCCN Clinical Guidelines documentation (not their Patient Guidelines)
including the footnotes for each relevant section you read? If not, you'll find it very helpful as it addresses each step of diagnosis, risk assessment, imaging, treatment and recurrance.
Can you schedule meeting with a doctor at UCFS to ask, what imaging is best for your husband given his most recent recent biopsy pathology and the various treatment options? The imaging recommendation could vary depending on whether you are thinking of focal therapy vs surgery vs radiation.

Thanks so much for info about NCCN cl. guidelines, I will google it ASAP. We have zoom meeting at the end of April with USCF doctor , that was the soonest available option. My husband contacted department yesterday pleading for some guidelines regarding imaging since we wish to have everything ready for that zoom call. Lady said that she will try to find that information for us and will call us back. If nobody calls today, we will call again. In the meantime we succeeded to per-sway present urologist to send sample for Decipher testing *sigh. My husband asked for that day of the biopsy and he did not send it. So now finally it is sent and they said 2 weeks waiting time for results. Fingers crossed it will come as low risk and I will be able to "exhale" , at least for a day or two. Regarding treatment - we will do whatever is suggested, we are open to anything that might help. Regarding incontinence or ED I personally would have my husband in Depends and alive and just cuddle with him for the rest of my life with zero complaint. Honestly, even if some evil fairy told me that I have choice of him being well and alive and happy but with caveat of me never being able to see him again and live alone, I would choose that in a second. So , we really would do whatever will give the best result no matter what.
