My Mayo PCP is not discussing doing anything other than my continued PSA tests every 3 months. I now see my R/O at UFHPTI every year as I passed the 1 year after treatment mark.

My PSA numbers are excellent according to Mayo PCP and my UFHPTI R/O.
My last PSA was .22 It went down from .51 So every one including me is happy. My original PSA was 3.75 It was my biopsies that showed the prostate cancer, and the follow up test of PSMA, bone, scans and Decipher and 3 consultation that I went with Proton radiation at UFHPTI. I am happy and all my medical teams are happy. Now just have to stay that way.

When I last met with my UFHPTI the R/O stated the goal for me was to have my PSA below 1.
and to have it remain that way with the occasional bumps they said would come. I am way below that (at least for me) at .22

So I and all my medical providers are happy with my progress and the successful treatment I got of 30 rounds of proton at UFHPTI.
How you doing?

This is what happens when I read something out of context. I saw .75 to 3.75 for PSA and erroneously thought they were post- treatment numbers….my bad!
Your actual numbers seem pretty damn good then. Still it amazes me just how relative everything is in life: My PSA 5 yrs after surgery was .2 (actually .18) so I needed more treatment. Yours is .22 AFTER treatment and you’re doing great -🤯. Is it any wonder that men go insane from all these numbers??!!
