Who knows a lot about PSA test results?

So, what do you make of a urologist in this case. Two years after 43 rad sessions, my PSA begins to rise. It's gone from .9 to 2.16 in one year, a 140% acceleration. Previous PSMA shows part of prostate with likely cancer, but nothing spreading. Urologist says Eligard, immediately, no more active surveillance. I agree it's a rapid rise but do all the medical books say the same thing about what immediately triggers the need for ADT?

i don't know but i share your frustration..lets keep asking questions to push our docs for information

My PSA went up to 2.8 in one year after being undetectable for 4.
Reason? Lymph nodes metastasis.
I am back on Eligard and Xtandi. Last PSA: undetectable again.
I do not know your Gleason Score. Mine was 9. I have an aggressive cancer.
I cannot afford to wait.
Wish you the best.
