Have you had a PSMA PET scan? That will provide you more information as to the location and aggressiveness of your prostate cancer.

Hi,
I am scheduled for a PSMA PET this week. My understanding was that the MRI provides more detailed image information than the PET scan, but from your comment I assume that they both complement each other to get a better full picture. I will ask my Doctor to review both the MRI and the PET scan with me, so that he can explain what he sees and what the odds are of nerve sparing and also about possible damage to the muscles that control continence.
Thank you.
