Respectfully my personal experience partially refutes the opinion of your oncologist. My PSA was 0.44 after RP. PET-PSMA clearly showed lymph node involvement. It is my understanding however that cancerous lesions may not show up on a scan if they are less than 10 cm in any direction.

I hope you’re being treated at a center of excellence. If you’re not or don’t have confidence in your own oncologist, I suggest that you consider investigating another care provider. Best wishes for success on your journey.

Here's one chart, I'll add two others since the software only allows you to upload one at a time

A 2nd one

3td and final

38% chance of detection at .4 PSA per the internet. 87% chance of detection when > 4.0 PSA. Look this up . You got lucky.
