My PSA was taken in January of the year I was diagnosed. They did not do PSA checks after biopsies as PSA would reflect the damage and irritation done to prostate during biopsies. I did not have another PSA until 3 months after my last radiation treatment.

If he advised you that did not do a prior PSA as to close then I am confused why he would do a PSA during your treatments. That would just reveal the irriation prostate was undergoing at the time.

Not a medical doctor and there maybe reasons way beyond my experience with this but I don't think many posters had PSA done during their radiation treatments. The prostate is going through WWIII and is going to have a high PSA to reflect it.

Did your R/O, urologist do a PSA test at 60 days? Then you posted "they tested too soon." Was that their conclusion or yours? Again my UFHPTI R/O scheduled me for my first post radiation test at 3 months. I was told if the treatments worked the PSA would steadily come down but might not reach the bottom until 2 or more years.

The were right on and at 2.5 years my PSA is .12 That was from 3.75 prior to radiation treatments. I did not have ADT as my Decipher came back low risk. Since I have a prostate I am going to have PSA and I was told to expect bumps up and down which were completely normal. And over the 2.5 years had 2 bumps of very low numbers and all rest were going down.
