Thank you. Yes the anxiety has been horrible - it is tough for me to function knowing I have PSA and potentially cancer growing inside of me again.

I know - it took over a year for my PSA to reach .18 once we knew it was trending upward. I wanted treatment sooner but the RO at Sloan said that I had to wait for .2 in order to have a PSMA PET scan. It showed nothing but in the past year it’s been discovered that it is not totally reliable for detecting metastasis.
In the meantime, you could have a PSE test which shows the presence of prostate cancer - like 97% accurate.
At least you’ll know -as will your oncologist - and perhaps you can be more proactive now and not have to sit there and sweat it out…
