Rising PSA after SBRT - worrysome or to be expected?

@jeffmarc You are a Gleason nine, That pretty much guarantees you are going to have reoccurrence. It’s up to you how you want to handle it.
I am Gleason 9. I hope that doesn't mean Cancer Reoccurrence is inevitable in the next 10 years when I will be 100!!!

Your case could be completely different. When you have multiple recurrences, it pretty much always comes back, If you live long enough. It’s just a matter of time.
Just being a Gleason nine alone, doesn’t do it. I know one guy with a Gleason nine that went 30 years before it came back. Another guy that went 20 years. Prostate cancer can go dormant. Neither of those had two reoccurrences, it came back once after many years.
