Last reply:

Hi,
I am low risk prostate cancer. I've had biopsy and MRI. Gleason 6.
I think (!) that I would like a PSMA pet scan to give a better image of my prostate.
If necessary, I could pay privately.
How can I get PSMA pet scan??
Thanks folks,
Dear Carver,
Thank you for posting online.
If you would like to have a PSMA PET scan, you could ask your Urologist if he would request this on your behalf – he would be best placed to recommend where to have this done. You could also ask your GP. For this scan you will need a doctor’s referral.
I hope this helps – if you would like to call our cancer nurses and discuss this further, please do not hesitate to contact us on 1800 200 700 Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
Kindest regards,
Cancer Nurse
