"My PSA was very low for a man diagnosed with metastatic PC."

How did you detect it? Were there other symptoms, etc?

DRE, biopsy, and then bone scan. I had a PSA of 9.7 when I was diagnosed with PC. It wasn’t until I had the bone scan that is was discovered it had spread to my bones in 8 places.

9.7 is high, but that level normally doesn’t mean it has spread to your bones. That’s why they do a bone scan to determine treatment options.
