@brianjarvis Just so. We discovered my prostate cancer via the lesion on my spine. There was no evidence of local spread in imaging (MRI, CT contrast, bone scan) and not even anything visible in the prostate itself. The cancer seems just to have taken off out of the nest (prostate) almost as soon as it was hatched and settled in my middle spine.

Yes - I think that the only way one can say with GREAT certainty if spot is PC or just something else is by using MRI and CT in conjunction with PSMA. It would be even better if all of those were done once before and can be compared over time.

As my doctor friend told me once - "it is all just like reading "shadows"- it can be this or that ", and for the real conclusion one needs to use multiple and different parameters and different modes of testing.
