@northoftheborder And on the third hand, they don't want to miss an opportunity to cash in and buy their own machine which mine did. That really muddies the objectivity water of which scan to use. The article stated there was no phase 3 study comparing survival rates performed which I find very interesting. Sometimes I feel it is better to not read these articles but southoftheborder we now have to advocate or many of our needs won't be met. Doctor's financial needs come first these days. Such is life. I will celebrate my so far successful BCR treatment and live my fullest life until one week jiggy time comes before my next PSA. Hope you are doing well.

@chippydoo Thank you! Yes, I am doing well.

You make an important point about long-term survival. Given that PSMA-PET was approved in 2020, and didn't become widely available in the U.S. probably until ~2022, I suspect it's too early for any long-term survival data.

That makes us the guinea pigs. 🙂
