Rising PSA years after radical prostatectomy

My PSA has been around .3 for 2years I monitor by taking my PSA every 6 weeks and a 3T MRI once a year which is the least intrusive and produces excellent image results beats biopsy all to hell. Anyway I was told not to take a PET Scan because it would produce false positives. Anyone else encounter such statements from your Dr.?

Yup I am like you Although I did focal laser ablation 2 times and follow up with 3T MRI annually. They told me the same thing about having a PET scan and quite frankly I don’t understand false positives possible intermingled with positives does not seem like the radiologists can tell the difference. Same as you but I can’t offer any clarity .
