Thank you, what is your thought on a pet scan before surgery?

A PSMA PET scan would verify that cancer is contained to the prostate and try to rule out distant metastases.
Your Drs would advise on that.
Note on ED: age, physical health and sexual function prior to prostatectomy are factors in predicting side effects.
HBP has posted salient information.
Best wishes.
