Thanks. I’ve consulted a younger RO at MD Anderson in Houston. He said it’s SOP to wait 10 weeks before pulling fresh PS. That with the results of the Decipher will help. I’m pushing for early intervention (adjuvant?) RT and ADT.

It might be a SOP but upon further research I discovered that PSA falls by half every 3 days. So, whatever your initial number was, count days at which it should be 0.01 . For us it should be that number next week so we are doing PSA next week and than we will go from there. We wish to have adjuvant RT even if it is 0.01 since our Decipher is highest that can be and G 9 with Cribriform and IDC, plus EPE and iffy margin at one spot. If our pathology post RP was still 4+3 and no EPE we would be comfortable waiting for "ordinary" BCR.
If PSA comes back above 0.01 , than it is no brainier - RT should start immediately anyways.
