I just had a PET scan about 10 days ago and they couldn't see anything. The radiation oncologist at Johns Hopkins suggested there would be about a 40% he would be able to see it at a .3, I heard there are new ones in CA that can even detect smaller, but probably only a handful because I believe they just approved them in December.

My PSA was 0.8 and rising six months ago. I traveled 2,000 miles to UCLA for a PSMA PET scan. The scan showed 4 pelvic lymph nodes that had cancer. A month later I had 5 SBRT sessions and started Nubeqa. My latest PSA was 0.5. Time will tell what the end result will be but my numbers are going in the right direction. I’m 76 years old and was first diagnosed in 2001, had surgery, radiation, and Lupron since.
