Thank you for your quick response. Still trying to decide on radiation treatment. Don't know if I should have PSMA now or wait until after next result psa in October. What a mess, huh?

It is indeed a mess.
If you insurance covers it, and your dr's think you should have one, I'd probably do it if it were me.
My insurance did not cover it, there are those who would say I may have wasted the cash getting it done as early as I did as the chance of finding something shows a correlation with your PSA. (I didn't know that at the time)
If I recall, under 1.0 is only a 30% chance of positive test. Mine was negative, but, to me, that had value as well, knowing nothing else was lurking out there at that time.

Good Luck!
