I like what they’re saying, but I’m wondering why you’re not getting another PSMA PET scan.
Don’t mention how high your PSA is, but if it’s over about .5 you should get a scan right now to see if there’s anything showing. That way, the RO has something to target. Your last pet scan is too old and doesn’t represent what has happened since you have had BCR.

@jeffmarc sensitivity of the scan could be a factor for when the doctor wants to do the scan “ the sensitivity of PSMA-PET with the PSA level of less than 1, is somewhere in the range of 60% and in PSA above 2, the sensitivity is almost in the range of 95% to 97%,” from Urology Times.
We waited and I’m more confident of the results.

I believe most of that was addressed in my original post up top but anyway my last PSMA PET-CT Scan was 4/15/26. My last PSA test was done 03/24/26 was 0.3. They'll be targeting my right arm humerus bone, it's in my marrow. If it doesn't get my PSA down I'm going to ask for another PSMA PET-CT Scan as someone has already mentioned if this doesn't bring my PSA back down to undetectable it's likely in my pelvic area, I'm not willing to go on "likely in". Just not sure I'm going to let them radiate my pelvic area without some proof of it being there.
