Good morning,

Pertaining to my rising PSA after prostatectomy. (7-2-25)

My decipher score is .6, and the information along with it recommends radiation first.

Question, after a prostatectomy what is the recommended healing time prior to administering radiation?

Thanks.

Mike

I meet with my Oncologist on 10-2-25.

Hey Mike. I had pretty much the same as you. My doctor put off radiation as long as he could due to incontinence. It can have an impact later. A year later I started Eligard, then radiation 2 weeks later. Best of luck to ya!!!! 👍

Doctors usually wait 3 to 4 months after a prostatectomy to do radiation. They do it based on PSA so if your PSA has not stayed undetectable, then radiation will give you longer progression free survival.

They don’t base radiation on your decipher score, If your PSA is rising, then the decipher score is a factor.
