PSMA scan conflicting results

Wow. Oncologist called me today. MRI was inconclusive on rib. Too much motion from breathing supposedly. I was so still in that machine so I think it's ridiculous. The tumor board agrees with PSMA PET scan that rib is suspicious for cancer. Actually, she said the board Believes it is cancer but not 100 percent sure. The prostate uptake is now in their opinion from the rectum and not cancer. However, because of the PSA rise they suggest treating aggressively which means SRT to bed and pelvic lymph nodes. After this they will SBRT the rib in case it is cancer there. I started ADT yesterday so even though everything is not conclusive other than my PSA rise I'm not sure what else I can do other than getting a second opinion which I'm doing at the Karmanos Cancer center.... I was thinking about sending my scans in to an AI portal that reviews scans, (if that exists).

Sorry, a bit confused at: they now believe that the prostate uptake is from the rectum and not cancer…don’t know what that means.
