Rising PSA post Prostatectomy. Please, what should I expect or do?

My GU second opinion at a Comprehensive Cancer Center suggested waiting until I get a PSA of 2 if I BCR again and stated they would be able to find it and get it at that level. I can't recall seeing anyone that got a BCR PSMA Pet scan mention anything was found at low levels. What does "Chronic/incidental disease findings" mean? I hope they can sort this out for you.

If you have radiation as your initial treatment, then the recommendation is not to do anything until the PSA rises 2 over the lowest it reached after radiation.
Some doctors like Dr. Scholz of PCRI fame, believe that you should just zap the metastasis as they come up. Waiting until the PSA hits 2 May be a little overdoing it but maybe not. Many people would want a PSMA PET scan when it reached 1.
