Good morning,
As always we are greatful for everyone asking questions and sharing personal experiences.
Shifting gears, my question pertains to Cyberknife radiation. Had a prostatectomy 7-2-25. Pathology showed surrounding lymph nodes were clean. Post prostatectomy ( 8 weeks) my PSA was .30, two weeks later PSA was .43. Second PET scan did
not detect additional cancer. Been reading about Cyberknife radiation, my question is Cyberknife radiation a viable alternative post prostatectomy?

@mkostelecky1962 Cyberknife is not usually done in your case; usually IMRT with radiation given to prostate bed and pelvic lymph nodes (no matter that the nodes were clear).
It involves anywhere from 25-39 treatments depending on your RO’s preference.

I forgot to ask what was found in your prostate after surgery.
Were any of the following things found? extra capillary extensions, intraductal, Cribriform, seminal vesicle invasion or EPE?
Any of these could be what caused your PSA to rise immediately after surgery
