Has anyone on here got micro metastatic disease, or suspected of having it?

If you read my profile , I had surgery at 48 and awful post surgery results with much lymph involvement. I had scan after scan but no disease seen anywhere so I opted out of SRT and early HT. It took 5yrs before it all showed up in spine and distant lymphs. I’m now on HT and am 8 1/2 yrs since surgery

Mine was 252.5 but it’s 0.2 at the moment. The bone scan and whole body MRI were clear but I probably have micro metastatic disease.

My psa was 45 at surgery , and 1.5 after , quickly rising. It was over 1000 before I got my head together and reacted properly. Still here 81/2 years later probably by luck
