Thanks for the reply. I know I havePC. Even without a biopsy. I have looked at the PSMA. My problem becomes biopsy or pet scan, there just aren’t any treatment options that I know of that do not require a rectal device which would create an injury and another serious and immediate problem

If a Transrectal and Transperineal biopsy are not possible, did the Mayo Clinic urologist state why they would not accept PSMA PET scan data? I recommend escalating at Mayo until you find someone that will help you find an alternative to a biopsy. A quick search of medical literature shows examples in Europe where a person could not get a biopsy and scans were used for treatment planning (https://www.europeanurology.com/article/S0302-2838(21)02194-1/fulltext). Hopefully others during the next few days will offer some better ideas for next steps. One thing that all of us with PC learn is that you have to be the person in charge of your own treatment plan and we never give up.
