Hey surfer - NO!! I don’t want to know!!🤯. I already did the salvage radiation so that’s one very big area off the table.
If this lesion IS metastasis, it too was exposed to ADT and perhaps has shrunken down; or it will cause PSA to rise and will be reconsidered for SBRT.
One thing I’ve learned with this whole ride is that the waiting - tedious and fear inducing as it is - is probably the most important variable in the whole equation. Best,
Phil

So sorry : (, did not want to scare you Phil and I am almost sure that in your case it is just a "wrong blip" on a radar ! Yes, bones can have some uptake specially when there is some old scar tissue or inflammation present. And it is just as you said easily zapped out - just local R to that spot and it will be gone. But I am sure it is nothing. I was reading about SUV uptake just this morning. It says if is below 2 or around it is most probably benign. I just wanted to suggest that if it is making you nervous to perhaps ask for one more pair of eyes to look at it.
