No explanation yet for significant rising PSA

@shelby29 Did the first and recent PSMA PET scan show tracer uptake in any areas at all - even noncancerous areas (particularly in the lacrimal (tear) and parotid (salivary) glands, blood, liver, spleen, pancreas, ganglia, and more, as well as the kidneys, ureters and the bladder)?

If he had a PSMA PET scan while his PSA was suppressed by ADT, the PSMA PET scan might not see any cancers.

@brianjarvis Yes it show normal gland uptakes.
His testosterone is suppressed, not his psa
