Lifting weights while on ADT: hitting a wall?

My PSA in 3 years went from undetectable to .05, then .06,then undetectable , then .06, then .12.
At that point , figured there was cancer there , so I wanted to get started on radiation,but my team wouldn't do it until it reached .2. Then they could do a PSMA PET. Apparently below .2, the PSMA-PEt may not pick up any cancer. Alos, I think there is an issue with Medicare covering it.
Meanwhile I had a CT scan for another reason and they detected a suspicious spot on my rib.
That triggered a PSMA pet which showed no cancer. Then I had a PSA which jumped to .25. And that got me do Dr . Haseltine, and I started Orgovyx 3 weeks. Radiation starts 5/21.

The only advice I would offer is to start the radiation diet now - about a month before treatment. See how your body reacts to it and take steps necessary to eliminate gas from your bowel, yet still have a bowel movement every day.
Everyone responds differently and in my case it was the most challenging aspect of the whole protocol.
Your RO team should have given you info on this by now. If you have questions just go to the search icon at the top of the page; you know how to do the rest!
