Just an update for those readers who may have had proton bean therapy. I am by no means out of the woods but it does seem to take at least, in my case 2 years (or hopefully more) to get to one's nadir.
My numbers were:
Radiation Type: Proton Beam
Number of Sessions: 21
Last PSA before treatment: 17.53
3 months post Tx: 4.11
6 months post Tx: 2.47
9 months post Tx: 1.83
12 months post Tx: 1.22
15 months post Tx: 0,94
skipped the next one
21 months post Tx: 0.60
24 months: ?

67 Years old, had 5 treatment proton beam radiation at Mayo Rochester. PSA pretreatment 10.5.
Two years later it had dropped to 0.5. It does eems to take 2 years or longer to reach a new nadir after which we need to respond to an increase of 1 before hitting the fire alarm.
