My Dad was diagnosis with prostate cancer at the beginning of the year. It was not clear whether the cancer was spread or not at the time. He took radiation and Lupron injection. Now his PSA level has dropped from ~ 10 to < 0.1. He did a bone scan last week and the doctor says seeing a new spot and suspecting new spread. My question is, is that possible? Prostate cancer continue to spread while PSA < 0.1? Comparing the films with the ones he took before, I do see some kind of darker spot, but …

Please help.

A general comment with no details of your situation:

It is unusual for a bone scan to reveal anything with a PSA under 20
