Post RT 6 years after RP with Rising PSA now at .28.

@jeffmarc I'd better explain in more detail. Had RP in 2015. 6mos later PSA was < .015. PSA gradually increased to .034 by 2017 at which time I had SRT. 3 mos later PSA had only dropped to .019. Since then it has increased steadily to .2 this March and .014 this last week. My urologist likes to mention that the increases are small and I'll die from something else.

@zhit
This is a little confusing
“PSA increased steadily to .2 this March and .014 this last week” .014 is a lot less than .2 and you say that was what you had last week which means your PSA dropped. That’s really considered undetectable.
Was there a typo somewhere in this information? If you want to correct it, I can comment more.
Normally, when somebody’s PSA starts rising after having salvage radiation, they are put on ADT. That will drop the PSA back down unless the person becomes castrate resistant.
Not quite sure what is going on.
