Well, I pretty much copied what you posted and this is what I got back, didn't really answer a lot of what you talked about. The Dr. Duchene & Dr. Kane he mention are the RO and surgical doctors I see on 9th. Never have seen them before, that will be first time. Response below.
Thank you for your MyChart message.
No, the radiologist did not assign it a SUV score. It was a solitary & suggestive of benign lesion. Dr. Duchene & Dr. Kane will certainly use all the information available to provide you with treatment recommendations specific to your situation.
If you have any additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact my office.
Respectfully,

@diverjer That’s an interesting response.
> “No, the radiologist did not assign it a SUV score. It was a solitary & suggestive of benign lesion.”
In an earlier post, you mentioned “…The PA-C did call tonight and was sorry, still hasn't sent in Decipher test. Said my PSMA Pet Scan showed Prostate Cancer, he would say Grade Group 3, unfavorable and intermediate.”
If it was a benign lesion, then they would not have assigned an SUVmax score to it (& therefore, no reason to mention SUVmax scores of blood/liver/parotid; though, it still would’ve been good to know how thorough they were being.)
However, if it was a “Grade Group 3, unfavorable and intermediate” as your PA-C indicated, then it would’ve had a SUVmax score assigned to it (probably between the SUVmax scores of blood & liver or liver & parotid).
Still, worth following up on to insure you’re getting consistent information from your medical team members.
