Even if it was 300.
The standard is that the PSA should drop to near undetectable, usually below .5 after radiation, much less 9 months after.
You should be speaking to a genito urinary oncologist about this. They specialize in prostate cancer and keep up with everything going on. A medical oncologist is not sufficient.
Your PSA is way too high after radiation, it implies there is something else going on.
Probably best to ask your oncology team. Everyone here is well-intentioned, and obviously we spend a lot of time reading about this new disease we have to live with, but you shouldn't worry too much about our amateur assessments of your test results. 🙂
Best wishes!
