sounds like you have some (3-5) pelvic lymph node with tracer uptake...prob will recommend short round of radiation and perhaps a ( short ?) 6 mos to 1 yr round of ADT. PET scan is catching it very early, it appears !
lots of missing info such as time of original diagnosis, PSA then, Gleason score...and time since prosectomy ?
but prob a somewhat optimistic outlook since tracer uptake is very light.
I had 2 pelvic lymph nodes light did 45 IMRT sessions and on ADT for 2 yr ( Gleason 8-PSA 61 but now < .01 at 5 1/2 mnths into treatment- next PSA in 30 days)

@xahnegrey40 - Sorry didn't do entire story on this post. But I have posted previous.
PSA went from 2 to 14 in 3 years, biopsy in 2014 (55 y/o) 7 carcinomas, Gleason score 3+4 (7) with bladder lesion noted.
Prostatectomy in 2014, biochemical recurrence in 2015 with 39 salvage radiation treatments and 1 year Lupron. < 0.01 for 10 years.
2024 PSA rising again - PSMA PET Scan showed foci on left iliac node, 1 dose SBRT (early 2025). PSA still rising PSMA showed foci on right iliac, spine and rib. MRI showed only the iliac, 1 dose SBRT (late 2025). PSA still rising - this is from the latest PSMA yesterday.
So not so early - it is stage 4 and I will die with prostate cancer (just still fighting and hoping to see my grandchildren grow up).
