@jeffmarc Thanks you so much. I live in northern Manitoba Canada, the nearest Cancer hospital is 800KM in Winnipeg. According to the urologist my biopsy report has been forwarded to an oncologist, but in the meantime, a bone CT scan has been requested at our general hospital. I told the urologist that I already have done 2 CT scans in 2025 for Diverticulitis, so another CT would be too much, but he said this is needed to look for any bone penetration of cancer cells. Now I am getting worried about it. Thanks for your well explained reply.

@khabib just out of curiosity where is the nearest PET scan located, do they have it locally?

@khabib
A bone scan is not the same as a CT scan. Two different machines quite different treatments. I’ve had both in the last six months because my PSA is too low for a PSMA PET scan to find anything.

If you aren’t on ADT and your PSA is above one then it makes sense to do a PSMA PET scan.
