Lots of people have similar experiences to what you’re having. Usually, when the PSA hits .2 after A prostatectomy they want to do salvage radiation. In your case, you’re showing that your PSA is not pointing to a problem that has to be addressed right away.

I would be concerned with one thing, Sometimes prostate cancer doesn’t produce PSA, In around 10% of cases. It could be you are one of those cases and you’re just not producing much PSA. In those cases, getting a FDG scan can find cancer that can’t be found with a PSMA PET scan.

It could also be nothing, Though rising to 2.5 is pretty high after a prostatectomy.

Took 3 1/2 years after surgery before cancer came back and I had to have radiation.

Be aware that prostate cancer does go dormant for years and then comes back for some people.

Lifestyle can affect prostate cancer. I know people that have changed their diet completely, and it has reduced their cancer Or kept it from growing. In Australia, they have a broccoli soup that if you drink once a week can prevent your prostate cancer from growing and spreading.
