@thmssllvn thanks for the info. My uro said a pet scan wasn’t necessary and I’m looking to set up a second opinion and hopefully new pathology review.
I would think any testing to help confirm containment would be wise especially if looking at surgery but what do I know.

You have a Gleason 3+4 and a T1c. A PET scan really isn’t useful in that low level PC. That’s why they discouraged it. Very unlikely you’re gonna have anything found and insurance may not want to pay for it.
