I would not worry (my opinion) about your bumps up and down. The numbers you have are great. I assume you still have your prostrate and if that is correct your numbers are excellent even the highest. And this comes from the guidance of my R/Os and PCP not me as a medical expert.
My R/O at UFHPTI told me the goal was to have my PSA below 1. TWO of my R/Os and my PCP keep reminding me that I WILL have bumps up and down and to NOT WORRY about that is is normal and common. It is the continued rise and no fall that they worry about.
I hope that helps you! However confirm with your R/O or urologist your concerns. I am passing on what was told to me and what to expect over the years after treatments.

Have you had radiation? How long ago. Not quite sure the numbers you wrote down make sense.
You went from 1 to 2 to 22 to 54 to 21?
After radiation if you have three rises in your PSA, you should be looking for further diagnosis and possibly treatment. if your PSA is going that high, you really should see your oncologist. It’s way more than doubling.
