44yr PSA180 Gleason9 non-metastatic. Surgery or Treatment?

Hi Jeff, thanks for the prompt reply.
I have not had the PSMA PET scan. However the biopsy confirmed 9 out of 12 samples with gleason 9 level cells.
I have not had the BRCA2 test.
This is all new territory for me and a rollercoaster for me right now as 10 days ago I just walked in to get a routine prostate check, and now my world is upside down. But I guess, you guys all went through this stuff.
Anyhow, thanks again for the info. I will look into it.

@dinu Sorry to ask this. Do you use private insurance or statutory insurance? With PSMA scan, you may need to get pre-authorization with statutory insurance. If you use private insurance, be sure to check with them too. Each hospital that offers this PSMA scan seem to have different price. the newest tracer PSMA scan is at Saarland University Hospital in Homburg (near Ramstein). Some of the German patients got their PSMA scan there and discussed about it. My husband got PSMA scan at University Hospital Tuebingen on last Wednesday.
