That's great and given the statistics, a possible outcome of the scan to inform a treatment decision.

For some, insurance issues may come into play, if a scan is done at levels such as yours and are negative, the insurance company may not approve the next one for a period of time.

Then there is the question of when to pull the trigger on treatment. For some, they and their medical team are comfortable with letting PSA rise to higher levels thus delaying treatment and its side effects.

There is no single right choice for imaging or treatment but there are a plethora of good choices.
