@gonzaler84 I was able to have the PSMA PET done prior to my initial meetings. If, after checking with Overlake (and UW as well) you are unable to get the scan scheduled ahead of your Oct 8 meeting, I would probably request the initial meeting be rescheduled in the event that they are unable to "pull some strings" to get it scheduled ahead of time.
What was your most recent PSA? What other labs or tests are being done to provide you with additional data upon which you and your doctors can arrive at the best possible treatment decision?
Below are two links that will be of interest:

In a later post you mention submitting a list of questions in advance of your appointment. It is a very good idea and is something I always do.
Let me know if you have you been on Mayo Clinic Connecct long enough to send/receive private messages?

@dailyeffort Bill, just checked and am unable to send a message. You can try to send me one and I'll reply once I receive it.

@dailyeffort Thx for your update and addl links. My most recent PSA was 6. No other lab tests other than biopsy earlier this week.
I just joined this forum a few days ago. I have an Inbox so I should be able to receive PM. I can try to send you one and see if you receive it. I'll send one shortly...
Cheers
