Why aren’t they doing a PSMA pet scan. That has replaced the bone scan and the CT scan. As long as your PSA is above .5 or so the PSMA PET scan will show Metastasis in many more places than the CT scan will.

Have you gone to a center of excellence to get a second opinion? It’s pretty clear that the place you are getting treatment may not take your best interest into account. Are you working with a Genito Urinary Oncologist, The ones who specialize in prostate cancer, not a medical oncologist who works with all different types of cancer and doesn’t specialize and keep up with the latest technology.

Of course, if you live in Canada, you may not have a choice.

No just urologist.
