Recommendation for second opinion on prostate MRI scan?

The other test that is essential is the PSMA PET scan. This scan targets prostate cancer specifically by using an agent that attaches to prostate tumors. This test is not available everywhere. Mayo has it, University of Michigan also has it. Good luck.

tgood, thanks for feedback. I did have a PET scan done prior to treatments at UFPTI. It was done at Shands Hospital but ordered by my UFPTI urolgist/oncologist. I was told (UFPTI) it was to determine if the cancer was anywhere else in my body especially lymphnodes.
It used some type of contrast injection. I see my Oncologist/Radiologist for my first 3 month follow up October 4th and will asked him as he ordered it. It was a long wait to get it as only done once a week. She tech that did it said something about storing it as had to have special area. It came back negative as wells as the bone scan.
