You’ve got a ways to go before you hit the magic 0.20. My PSA took exactly 5 yrs to go from .02 to .18.
If you do get salvage radiation down the road make absolutely SURE that they radiate the pelvic lymph nodes as well- not just the prostate bed.
Failure occurs when those nodes are not treated. Best,
Phil

My pathology was Clear Margins, No SV or LN involvement, had 1 bundle nerves removed, and 4 Lymph Nodes Removed, all clear/negative.
