Years after Prostatectomy my PSA is now 0.7. When the cancer will spread to the bones?

Years after Prostatectomy my PSA is now 0.7. When the cancer will spread to the bones?

  1. Hi . Your concerns about the rising PSA are certainly understandable. While it may be a recurrence this does not necessarily mean spread beyond the prostate bed. Has the doctor mentioned a PSMA PET Scan? It is the gold standard in tracking recurrent prostate cancer (see: https://prostatecancer.net/clinical/psma-imaging-scan). There are plenty of men here who have had a recurrence and successful treated it. Our contributor Dennis wrote about his experience here: https://prostatecancer.net/living/biochemical-recurrence. This was several years ago and he is still cancer free. Hope this information helps and please feel free to keep us posted on how you are doing and to ask questions. Best, Richard (Team Member)
