I would think you get a PET scan after you have had treatment and your PSA is starting to rise again. Then take repeated scans until something shows. I never said that you should get a PET scan right after treatment.

I didn’t think you were saying that. I know you know that you don’t do it until your PSA starts rising. Some doctors will start doing the scan at .2. They were talking about it at the UCSF conference. I went to yesterday. .2 PSA can show more things that I had suspected.
I do know one guy Whose doctor was having him get a scan every three months even though he had a .2. The doctor wanted to catch it as soon as it showed up.
