Recent PSMA PET does not detect cancer, what’s next?

Thanks for that information Jeff. Just watched a Dr. Scholz YouTube video that pretty much said the same thing, I Certainly like the idea of finding it and hitting it with SBRT. It’s the waiting that’s killing me and how long should you wait. How high do you let the PSA climb before giving up on PSMA PET.

Right above your message I replied with information that’s identical to what I would tell you right now about looking for it, if the PSMA Pet doesn’t Show anything.

Hopefully you have a doctor that can gauge how high your PSA is and what could be causing the lack of anything showing in the image. Once PSA hits 1 you should have anything with PSMA visibly showing up in the PET scan. Of course if it’s not bigger than 2.7 mm it doesn’t show up, yet. I would not like to see the PSA going above three or four. A few weeks ago somebody was talking about their PSA being in the 120s 30 year after surgery. They can’t find anything in the PET. Sound familiar?
