Thanks everyone.
I don't have any results yet but the scan wasn't bad at all. They flush out a vein and give one syringe of radioactive tracer and you wait like 45 minutes and the scan lasted like 15 minutes. They actually called and wanted to know if I could come in a little early and said yes, jumped in some loose fitting clothes and we hit the road. Hopefully we'll know something by morning. I'll give an update when I get it.
I did find this out, wow that's small.
What level PSA can PSMA PET scan detect?
In people who have an early recurrence of prostate cancer, a PSMA PET scan can detect PSA as low as 0.2 or 0.3 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). A nanogram is one-billionth of a gram, and a milliliter is 1/1,000 of a liter.
With a PSA level of about 0.5 ng/ML, there’s about a 50% chance of finding a mass of about 5 millimeters (mm) in size.
