Has anyone had the PSMA-PET scan? Was cancer found?

Hi Bandit11,
What's the benefit of the Decipher genetic test? I recently had a BCR at .2/.3 and treated with radiation (very modern bed/machine) and 6 months Orgovxy. Oncologist estimates curability likely 25%-35% because suspected recurrence @.3 was in lymph bed.
I'm 62 yo. RP @53 in 2013, Gleason 9.

I had the Decipher genetic test and as far as I understand, it gives a probibility of how fast your cancer might grow. here is a exerpt:
Decipher Prostate is a genomic classifier that stratifies patients by risk of prostate cancer progression. Physicians use Decipher to help determine which patients may be safe for less intensive treatment approaches and which may need additional or more intensive treatment.
