What do you do when one lymph node on PSMA is inconclusive ?

Thanks everybody for additional input and prospective. It is very much appreciated. I hope surgeon will have some ideas and know how to proceed.*sigh

Last night I decided to go through all MRIs my husband had over the years and read every single comment (he was on active surveillance since 2015), and I found one from 2022 that mentions this exact same lymph node and it was exactly the same size (1 cm). Now I comfort myself that if it was met. it would grow in 3 years at least somewhat ?
Does anybody know if that is correct assumption or lymph nodes with PC stay the same size no matter what ?

The node could stay the same size but the uptake should be much greater if it was a growing cancer.
So I think that suspicious node stays the same and will continue to do so. Of course, if it is one in the surgical field (some are not) it will be removed and analyzed so don’t give it too much weight right now.
Just my opinion based on hubby’s MRI history. Best,
Phil
