Forgot to ask. I suspect when you wrote EBRT, you meant IMRT, which is a much newer version.
How many sessions are you going to have of IMRT? PSA test would probably follow that by 3 months.
You could get it anytime but after IMRT sessions would have the best idea of your future treatment needs. You would probably find your PSA had dropped dramatically.
You don’t give many specifics about your diagnosis so it’s hard to really say more.

Alas, it’s EBRT. If IMRT is a preferred option I’ll have to see if I can get a referral to another hospital. It’s Canada after all. I had 7out of 12 cores test positive when the biopsy was analyzed. All on the left side. Subsequently bones can, CT scan and PET scan showed no metastasis, but that doesn’t preclude microscopic spread. Gleason 3+4 with cribriform present and perineural invasion
