With that low a PSA it is unlikely that a PSMA PET scan will find anything. It would be hard-pressed to find a doctor that would do it with a PSA that low. Your insurance company might not even want to pay for it.

I can’t imagine you are Orgovyx, Zytiga and Nubeqa. I guess you might’ve started with Zytiga And switched to Nubeqa Because of the side effects. Never heard of anybody on all three of those drugs At the same time.

At this point in your treatment, a CT scan and a bone scan are pretty much the standard.

YES; started off on Zytiga but stopped due to elevated liver enzymes, switched over to Nubeqa.

AS for CT Scan w/Contrast of the pelvic region, based on current situation ... I am at a loss trying to figure out justification for receiving more radiation.

I am currently at low ALC and concerned about unwarranted and/or inferior imaging.

@jeffmarc
FURTHER, how often would CT scans be ordered?

WOULD this depend on symptoms, PSA levels etc?
