I imagine you feel gutted. Mine never went to undetectable after RP with a low of .03. BCR after 2 years with doubling every 6 months second year, followed by radiation and ADT which I am finishing up in 4 days. Best of luck and hope you are going to a research hospital instead of a private practice. One uses standard of care which translates to safe for the doctor and the other cutting edge with SOC and stage 3 drug trials looking a cure. I'm surprised they aren't proposing a PSMA and suggesting ADT and radiation. .2 was my providers trigger point. Research hospital Genitourinary doc suggested waiting until 2.0 and stated they could find it and treat it at that point. That will gin up some controversy in the room. Best wishes for you with these challenging decisions that you have to make.

I'm getting an authorization code today for the PSMA. Have an appointment in 2 weeks with head of Oncology. My Urologist/surgeon said I'll probably get 28 sessions of SRT with possible ADT, but Oncologist will make the final recommendations. I hope your radiation and ADT is going well. How many sessions of radiation and how long on ADT did they suggest for you?
