Got a question for the group if anyone is or was in my situation...I had my Rp in 2021.one year later psa went up to .45 .doctors sent me in for 36 rounds of radiation..2 yrs later slight increase in psa so went for a biopsy in the pelvic upper area and the biopsywasn't secssfull couldn'tget it tough area upper pelvic area.psma showed a tiny dot less than a half centimeter so doctors said let's watch it and did psma scan twice 4 monthsapart.my psa slowly started to raise after 1 yr it went up to .40 so the doctor gave me orgovyx with 6 weeks my psa went undetectable. 5 months on orgovyx and the doctor did another psa test and still undetectable. Add psa undetectable Now they want to blast it with radiation 5 rounds starting this Friday. If anyone is in the same situation I'd like to know how it turned out and what your experience was...tyia

I had an RP And 3 1/2 years later, my PSA started rising, so I had to salvage radiation. 2 1/2 years later, my PSA started rising so they put me on Lupron. Went on for 7 more years With more reoccurrences and more drugs.
Two years ago, the PSMA pet scan showed a metastasis on my spine. Had it zapped with three rounds of SBRT radiation. My PSA has pretty much stayed Undetectable for the last 22 months.
That is the way they handle this, Zapping the metastasis that do show up. It is usually very successful. Unfortunately, when you’re undetectable, there’s no way to do a pet scan to see if there are more metastasis. I’m sure they’re going after the one they last saw In the hope that it will resolve your issue. The only way to find out is to stop taking Orgovyx And see if your PSA rises.
