wait time for radiation

[Pmalloy]

hello,

I just had a pet scan after my PSA went from .3 to 5.68 in 3 months time and it revealed 3 spots that my onc feels we should radiate. I am 3 years into this and have had 6 rounds of chemo and am currently on daro+ lupron. It took 6 weeks to get the scan and results and now my consult is in another 4 weeks. Not sure how long after that I would actually receive radiation. Are folks waiting this long for scans and treatment? Thanks.

For me personally, it seems like a long time for results of scans. My scans are done in the AM and I meet with the MO that afternoon. Radiation has always been a couple weeks later as my schedule permits

There is no evidence that it makes a difference.

Thank you, my thinking is that while I am waiting with a rising PSA that something else could show up that won’t be accounted for because I won’t have another scan before I receive the radiation.
