I would try not to worry. I don’t think that SUV equates to an aggressiveness, just definitely more uptake pointing to the cancer. My Decipher was .60 and from diagnosis to surgery was almost 7 months. You can put your name on a cancellation list with the surgeon as i guarantee you, he will have multiple cancellations within that time, as patients change their planned treatments, patients getting sick several weeks before surgery and want to delay, and multiple other reasons.

Thanks I will try to not worry. I definitely will get on a cancelation list
hopefully by early next year this will be done and over with.

Had my biopsy in July so it will be probably be at least 7 months before
treatment hopefully like you stated can get a earlier appointment
