Post Prostatectomy 6 years. PSA <.01 until now. Anyone else?

After reading so many of these comments, I am beginning to think it is not just the prostate they are feeling with a DRE. Surrounging tissue, bowel, bladder neck, any other systems that may be palpable within the rectal area when the 'reach deep'. The stories that are puzzling are the ones where no PSA is present yet a nodule can be detected. Something the medical community says doesn't happen?

@tom86 Yeas, it’s hinky for sure…but they are finding very advanced cancers in men with very low PSA’s.
That’s gotta be the worst, because you’re sailing along with your 1.5 PSA and suddenly your nagging backache is diagnosed as metastatic PCa!!
It is just so great to be ‘average’…
