PSE Test for Prostate Cancer Before an MRI and for Re-Occurrence

They did enough tests to determine that the cancer had not pierced the prostate? What was your T level. T2 or T3a or something else? Coming out of a total prostatectomy your PSA should not be .91, if it rises over .2 NCCN guidelines call for salvage radiation.
Maybe that procedure is so different that they can say it’s OK to have that high a PSA. I think it might be sensible to get a second opinion from an oncologist, preferably a Genito urinary oncologist.

This is why I'm asking, around here. So far, all of the rabbit holes I've been down, all say < 0.01, or < 0.02. There is nothing that says it is okay for it to be 0.911, except the surgeon. I'm in Spain, socialized healthcare where the doctors here are accountants before they are doctors.
I just ordered another PSA from an independent clinic UniLab in Barcelona. If the result is less, doubled, or the same, I will consult a private doctor for a second opinion.
