Almost the same, except the timing. Mine returned after ~3 years., but at low levels ( .05, .06) MsKCC does not recommend follow up until it hits.2, which it did in April, 2025, My oncolologist put me on Orgovyx right away and then started 25 pelvic radiation treatments in Late May. I'm done those and PSA is undetectable . < .05. Of course that could be due to the ADT so the PSA I get in ~ dec. will be a better barometer. However, a reputable study concluded that the 5 year rate of non-recurrence was almost 87%, so we should both be optimistic.
