Any comments? As to when PET scan should be done and how often?

Mayo wanted to do C11 Choline scans every six months.
The challenge is, if there is no clinical data indicating recurrence, a rising PSA that meets accepted definitions of recurrence, your insurance company may balk at "authorizing" and paying for the scan(s).
You may want to look at the NCCN guidelines for imaging in PCa, if you meet those then you have a better argument if your insurance company balks.
