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.

@jeffmarc Yes typo. .14 is correct. So far since there are no immediate issues, we will wait until a scan can determine where the PSA is coming from. Then, if it is a remote site it can be treated with either surgery or radiation or both.
