First PSA test after radiation for intact prostate?

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.

While on ADT the PSA can stay undetectable even if radiation has not yet killed all cancer. Don’t worry about it unless the PSA is rising.
