Gleason 9 here too, Chippy. I also heard wait until PSA of 2.0. Just got my last Eligard shot a month ago and my PSA is currently < .01 so all is well now. I'm not sure I want to wait until 2.0 with G9 but if the PSMA can't find anything what do ya do? My post RP PSA got up to .9 and the PSMA said I was clean but the bed area was categorized as (intense) whatever the heck that means. That's when my Eligard started.

@dpayton No radiation to go with the shot? What is their plan? Seems prostate bed radiation would be incorporated with your ADT treatment. I found the following explanation- An intense uptake in the prostate bed on a PSMA PET scan indicates a high level of PSMA expression, which is typically associated with prostate cancer cells. This suggests that the prostate bed may contain significant cancerous tissue. The intensity of the uptake is measured using the Standardized Uptake Value (SUV), with higher values indicating more aggressive or significant disease. In the context of a PSMA PET scan, an intense uptake suggests that the cancer cells are likely to be present and may require further investigation or treatment.
