Hi @heavyphil : My prostate surgery was done on September 2nd. So my first, post-surgery PSA test will be conducted during the first week of November to allow residual PSA enough time for sufficient numbers of half lives. But even if my PSA is undetectible at that time, I believe the question of getting adjuvant radiation within a year (of course, after I have sufficiently healed from the surgery) will still be on the table given the very high risk biology of my disease (pT3-b, Decipher score of .75 etc).

@soli Oh, so REALLY early days for you…you have plenty of time to decide what to do.
At the worst, IF - and it’s a huge if - your PSA comes back higher than anticipated (or rises constantly in 3 month intervals) you can go on Orgovyx to really put the brakes on any growth or spread.
You can always do radiation afterward no matter how you classify it - adjuvant, salvage or whatever…Best of luck on your treatment,
Phil
