Not Good News after prostate biospy when MRI didn't look too bad

@diverjer I had similar results from my PSMA - a lesion on the lateral crest of the hip; I was scared **itless!
My RO said it was not metastasis since not much showed anywhere else and it would be unusual (but still remotely possible) to see a definitive lesion so far away from the prostate bed with nothing in between.
In other words, you’d see a ‘trail’ of spots leading from point A to point B. You should be OK.
The radiologist has to cover his butt by saying metastasis is not entirely excluded.

Thanks for the information, gives me a little better feeling. Did they also not assign your hip a SUV? Did the assign your prostate with a SUV? However, I would like them just to cut the area open, grab a chunk and look at it under microscope. Well will see, but doubt they think like I do?
Then do still wonder why no SUV number assigned to rib area? They assigned an SUV to prostate 11.1. They said rib area had uptake! If something has an uptake, why not assign SUV. I know what the PA said because "It was a solitary & suggestive of benign lesion and that is why". But the report doesn't call it that, report just says UPTAKE.
