PSA score now 0.1 post surgery/radiation/chemo: Now what?

3 1/2 years after I had prostate cancer surgery my PSA started rising when they hit .2 they gave me salvage radiation. You may be in the same boat, you have to watch your PSA and see what’s going on. I had surgery at 62.
I do have BRCA2 a genetic problem that causes my PSA to keep rising and i have had four reoccurrences over the last 16 years.
Have you had genetic testing? Everyone with prostate cancer should be tested.
You can live decades with what you’ve got so don’t be panicked.

@jeffmarc I am in a similar situation as you were, I am at 3 years and have a PSA of .15. I am going to have 5 weeks of radiation in the pelvic region. I am waiting for my decipher information to determine if I should get ADT. I also took the Psma pet scan yesterday, awaiting results which I am aware may not pick up anything at this low of a PSA. I had a genetic test three weeks ago and am awaiting the results. I expect all of these results will be in by the time I meet my oncologist next Friday.
