First PSA test after radiation for intact prostate?

Some people take up to three years before their PSA hits bottom after having radiation. Getting monthly test is nice, but maybe every three months would be sufficient if PSA continues to Go down. Be aware that it can bounce around a little so don’t be shocked if it goes up a little and back down in a little over time.

Let me clarify this. Since my cancer was diagnosed as high risk, I was receiving ADT some months before radiation and am continuing with that. I understood that shortens the time to a nadir to 6 to 12 months. If I were going to have to wait 2 to 3 years for a nadir I would test every 3 months.
