You have had this exact same thing happened before. Did you panic so much when that happened? You’ve been in this forum since 2023. I would think you’d have posted about it the last time this happened, but you didn’t.

It could be your result had actually been .04 in the past with a wide (.01) swing to .05!!! Your number is so low you really need to let it go in your mind. It is not a big deal to have it go up such a small amount, Especially considering the fact that it bounces around for so many people.

It has to hit .2 before salvage radiation is considered. You have a small bounce. Try to lower your level of anxiety for a few months. I have been in this PC quandary for 15 years. After over 8 years of monthly tests I no longer wait in anticipation of my monthly results. It has been < .1 for 19 months but could go up at any time? I don’t get the ultrasensitive test. I could be less than .05 but I don’t need to get concerned about those really small numbers if my PSA gets above .1 it is time to consider what to do next, if it keeps rising. I also attend weekly advanced prostate cancer meetings with Ancan.org where people come in frequently to discuss how their PSA has gone from (for example) .06 to .07 And they are panicked about the rise. The people running the forum find it almost humerus for somebody to worry about the small changes when other people actually have significant rises above 1 that are problematic.
