Prostate Cancer

Having some issues with chest pain and the doctors are checking me out with inflammation medicine, scheduled for a stress test and if nothing there a scan to make sure theres no bone cancer. My question is could this be POSSIBLY be Prostate Cancer that has returened to my bones. Or would the PSA tests all this time have picked it up?

A PSA alone shouldn't be the sole indicator to determine if the cancer has returned and is in the bones.

What was your last PSA result?  

You need a bone scan to determine if the cancer is in the bone.
