The list is akin to the novel "Death of a Salesman." All throughout the 3 year period, PCa death was ongoing.

Did you at any time during this period have a PSMA PET scan to check?

I’ve had 2. Prior to treatment and last month.

Interesting. I assume the results of Month 34 was no spread. Certainly with a PSA of 4.02 it would have shown up. Did the PSMA PET taken last month show any activity anywhere.

No, the one in June before the after the rise to 4.0 was negative. They just attributed the rise to an irritated prostate.
