If your PSA remains that low, you really don’t need to do anything but wait, and get regular PSA tests, A Gleason 9 Can be difficult to hear, but some people with That diagnosis can go a long time without recurrence. Never hurts to line up a doctor to treat you when it does rise, but I’m sure they will tell you it’s no time to panic with your continuing low PSA success.

If you are worried that your cancer is not producing PSMA, And as a result, your PSA doesn’t rise, You can get an FDG Pet scan, which would show if there is an issue.

jeffmarc,
You seem to be pretty knowledgeable about Prostate cancer. I just got my Ultra Sensitive PSA test results. It is 0.05 after being on Orgovyx for 8 months(Started on April 1st). My last of my SBRT treatment was on April 18th. My previous PSA was 0.06 on October 7th. In 8 weeks it dropped by 0.01.
The only side effect I really feel is low energy. There were some changes in biomarkers, but nothing terrible. In spite of Dr. Schulz's advice, I feel like I should continue with my engineering mindset until my PSA stops decreasing or I am feeling really terrible!
What is your opinion? Any one can chip in, of course.
