dlt, he'll want to see a radiology oncologist and a surgical oncologist. You don't want to see either without the PSMA/PET, but you could get on their schedules, so there isn't just another delay. The PSMA/PET can be done 3 days to a week after the biopsy. It it has already been done that long ago, ask doctor to write the requisition.
You don't have to wait for a visit. As soon as the PSMA is complete, ask for adt. I'd want orgovyx. They'll want him on orgovyx for two months before treatment. (unless parameters have changed, anyone?) But once you start ADT, he has begun treatment. I like early ADT because perineural invasion is the cancer escaping the prostate.
It's best to slow it down.
Meanwhile the internet. I'd suggest looking at Amir Kisan and the MRI guided 5 fraction treatment. He would have been my choice of oncologists, but UCLA didn't then; it does now, have a working machine.
wishing you both lots of luck

Thank you for your response. We actually sent a letter to his urologist today, explaining our concerns about the delays and how can we speed things up. Because of his blood clotting disorders, he has been seeing a hematologist/oncologst for 15 years. I don't want to step on the urologist toes, but want to get things done so we can make a decision for treatment. Will read up on Orgovyx. I will inquire about scheduling the PSMA/PET when he responses today or tomorrow. A friend of ours was put on a medicine immediately, although he is a Gleason 10. Thank you so much for your information response. Very appreciated!
