I am about to go for a PET scan as my post-salvage RT PSA have not dropped and in fact last test showed a slight rise (though still only 0.7 )
Is it customary for the PET scan to be whole body or merely the area of interest?
My Onco spoke of asking for what sounded like a 'rectal(something or other)' scan but he has also spoken of a possible spread being anywhere in the body.
As I am self-funding the private scan and it's likely to be a one-off, I'd like to obtain the maximum effectiveness.
I'd be grateful for any views or experiences of this, especially in regard to scanning the whole body or prostate area.
Thanks
Dave
