Well.....rather than 8-12 weeks, I today received a phone call offering PSMA PET this Friday, 5 weeks and 1 day after seeing the Oncology man. I accepted! 

If goes ahead (and I know can be last minute obstacles), then might be able to bring forward my next appointment with Specialist.

Still not 100% convinced I want to know (if I hadn't questioned GP's "normal" I wouldn't have!!), but will make inheritance planning etc easier, so on balance I shall proceed by the book.

Onward and downward....

Good luck all!

Dave.

Really glad to read you got this appointment. Hoping it provides clarity for a good treatment plan.

All to plan. PSMA PET Scan this afternoon. So much "easier" than MRIs, no discomfort, no stress.

Devil lies in the results!

Then, maybe, a difficult choice re treatment(s). Survival probability rates between 12 mths and 5 years AFAICT.

Do for me.

As advised contacted Oncology nurses (by text, seems gets quicker response than voice mail!) to inform them that Scan done  -  3-7 weeks earlier than estimated! Within an hour, phoned me and brought my appointment with Consultant forward from 8 Nov to 20 October. Sooner would be better but I  am still gaining time rather than losing more!

Nurse said "if Imaging working faster we'll have to up our game!".

Three weeks until I can map out  my future in any detail.

Onward........

Dave.
