@chippydoo Thanks you so much for you advice and detailed information. Yesterday I received call for CT on Tuesday. I am traveling out of country on January 7, for full 4 weeks, as all travel with family was booked 2 months ago, before biopsy. Now I had no choice to cancel this scan and wait for another call in weeks from Cancer Clinic to discuss other options like PSMA. Thanks you for your reply. Merry Xmas and Happy new year

@khabib Have a great trip!

@khabib wherever you are traveling for four weeks - would they have a PET scanner there!?!?!

Clearly the PET scan is the answer everybody knows is appropriate and I fully understand and agree with your concerns about the x-ray - though on second thought some of the newer digital x-ray machines are MUCH lower dose than older ones. It's mostly that high dose or low they aren't going to do the job. Don't know what else I can say that isn't just berating the obvious. Maybe get an appointment with a doctor in Winnipeg who can recommend the PET scanner next door without violating his local rules.
