PSMA pet scan negative

My PSA was 0.1 on july 17th and 0.3 on Oct 16th. PSMA scan was done on Nov 7th but was negative. Am I safe to assume there must be some prostate cancer cell present that are not showing up on the scan? I am meeting with my MO at Dana Farber next week

Any suggestions moving forward?

I appreciate the feedback

It could be a sign that there is cellular activity that doesn't show on the scan. I am no expert, but if you have my luck, expect the worst and hope for the best.

Thanks Tall_Allen, I agree. Meeting with Dr. Mark Pomerantz in a week to review my scan and see where we go from here
