It’s interesting that I had a conversation with my RO after my RP in August. He told me he expected my first PSA test to be zero , I have my first post operative psa test this month and I am hoping to be undetectable. He told me that if my psa is .1 or greater he would recommend considering salvage radiation and if it reached .2 we would already be doing treatment. In my case my margins were negative, the capsule was intact and the only trace of cancer left was at the spot were the seminal gland was connected to the prostate. My urologist has said this had less than a 10% chance of developing so depending on my results on the 18th I could be looking at making a decision on salvage radiation or just active surveillance.

@brucemobile I have read recently while planning for my husband to go back on AS after his almost 5yrs of ADT, and one provider to a PCa patient on ADT told him they'd wait for .5-1.0 and then do an MRI for possible oligo-metastasis and they could spot-treat?
