For men who had SRT - what was PSA on day of 1st session?

Hey Ken, I see no mention of ADT in your post. With a recurrence of a Gleason 9, surely you were placed on ADT immediately?
G9 is an aggressive cancer and you should have been given it right away once recurrence was confirmed.
So any delay wouldn’t have mattered since the ADT would have kept the PSA from going higher. I would SERIOUSLY have a sit down with your RO right now.

@heavyphil Depends on what the definition of confirmed is

My PSA in concert with my testosterone (comfortably within castrate limits confirmed recurrence in July - if you ask me

My doctor waited for a PSMA PET scan on October 3 to confirm & I didn’t receive degarelix until 10/13/25.
