Not all cancers put out PSMA that will be picked up by the PSMA scan. Perhaps a different scan will help. This was mentioned during a PCF webinar last night hosted by Oliver Sartor and included Michael Morris, two of the pioneer/experts when it comes to PSMA and PSMA related therapies.
Do you happen to know if there is a replay of the webinar w Drs Morris and Sartor available? I had planned for us to be on it but we missed it unfortunately. My husband is in a similar boat to the OP's husband.
They usually have a replay available after a few days, I know it was being recorded. Perhaps if you check the website or even YouTube you might be able to find it.
Based on previous PCF webinars, it should be posted to their website at some point hopefully before too long. I will keep an eye out for it. thanks again.
No chemo? Husband on quarterly Lupron since January and started Erleada a month ago. PSA coming down nicely (9.6 to 1.8). He has a handful of bone Mets but they have not recommended chemo yet. Next month a scan to see how Mets responding. I keep seeing triplet is SOC but maybe some don’t do all three?
I am praying all the best for your husband and for you. My husband is in a somewhat similar situation to yours, in that his PSA is slowly climbing (It is now just under 10), and two PSMA PETs showed no mets. I asked his MO at Sloan Kettering if we should be doing other types of scans and his doctor did not suggest FDG PET, as others have mentioned, or anything else. We missed the PCF foundation webinar from the other night that Ed mentioned in his reply to you - but if I can get a hold of it, I'd like to see what Dr. Morris, who is a colleague of my husband's MO, had to say. If it differs from what we are being told, I cannot understand why there would not be collaboration and consensus amongst doctors within the same department at a major institution.
