IMRT of 28 running, plus ADT one year ago. ADT lasted only 3 months and being completely stopped after IMRT due to huge suppression on my immune system. PSA has been: 0.02, 0.06, 0.17 and 0.14
78 years old 3+3 PCa
Everything OK now.

Hopefully your PSA continues to drop, but the fact that it went from .02 to .17 then .14 Means it needs to be followed carefully. Since you hit .02 the guidelines say that unless it hits 2.02 you really don’t need to do anything. Some doctors don’t feel that way and want to treat it before it gets that high. PSA can bounce around some usually that’s before It hits the actual bottom which for you was .02 apparently

Did you ever get a decipher test? That might tell you, whether or not there is a chance that it could be coming back.
