It appears you are doing good. Your R/O should have discussed minor rises in PSA with you. It is very common to have slight rise in PSA numbers over the years after treatments. If you have had RP then a rise in PSA numbers would be much more of a concern.

Infection, bike riding, vigorous sex, etc. can cause a rise in PSA numbers. Your R/O should have explained this. What my R/O and PCP told me was if the PSA continues to rise that is when there is a concern not a single jump here and there.

I am not a medical professional just passing on what my R/O told me as well as my PCP.

thanks so much for the reply and of course I will discuss this with my urologist this Friday.
