@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.

Some people have very aggressive cancers and don’t want to wait Until their PSA hits 2.
I know somebody who was having their PSMA Pet test every three months, even though their PSA was only .2. The doctor felt that for them it was important to catch whatever came up, soon.
Because of my BRCA2, I would never want to wait till my PSA hit any higher than 1 Before getting a scan.
