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.

That PSMA pet was probably recent enough. You are right I didn’t go back to the top. I usually do go back to the top and check, but I didn’t in your case, sorry.
You definitely need to get that elbow treated as soon as possible. You don’t want to wait any longer if you can have it stopped. I know people have had to have surgery and removal of bone after that happened. Hopefully, they caught it early enough.
If your PSA doesn’t drop back that another scan is one answer. I don’t see you mentioned getting salvage radiation. That really would be essential if nothing shows up on that pet scan.

@im62at2024 Unfortunately, there’s rarely ‘proof’ that it’s in the prostate bed/nodes…but it turns out that IS there 66% of the time, as evidenced by the number of successes with SRT.
