PSA results after radiation only treatments

You're in a good place with excellent providers. Did you have a PSMA Pet Scan? My PSA went 0.24 x 2 after prostatectomy 8 yrs ago. Scan was neg but RO radiated the prostate bed x 35 times. That was 1.5 yrs ago. PSA was not detectable after and has remained there. I did not receive any medication, Urologist said if anyone was a candidate NOT to receive it, it would be me. You're in good hands

Not sure if your reply was to me but will answer.
When I got my biopsies back (MRI/Fusion) I was referred to R/O. R/O wanted to do radiation and hormones. R/O recommended additional test the Decipher and bone scan. Decipher came back low risk not intermediate risk opinion from biopsies. Bone scan came back negative.
Second R/O I went to for second opinion agreed with diagnosis and treatment but wanted to add PSMA. That too came back negative. Thus no medication. The medication does not kill the cancer only slows the growth.
One thing I found unique to UFHPTI was there research on supplements. Their research showed that specific supplements do in fact protect cells from oxidation and damage. Problem is that same protection goes for the cancer cells as well as normal cells.
I am a supplemental freak and had to stop taking specific supplements until 6 weeks after treatments ended. During treatments I was asked to add straight cranberry juice to help keep down urinary infections. Was horrible taste so they let me take a capsule.
