Brief Answer:
Hello dear. We can wait till imaging is positive

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear.

I have gone through the details. So if the PET-CT comes negative, we can wait till the imaging is positive, or we can add antihormonal treatment like Zoladex. Both are acceptable.

There is no need to worry
Thanks and regards
