Your situation is not unusual. You’ve been in this forum for a long time. You should be aware that other people have come up with similar issues to what you are describing.
You don’t mention whether you are on ADT or an ARPI. Those can keep your cancer undetectable for years. They don’t actually kill it. They just suppress it and prevent it from growing..
You had radiation a year ago and you’ve been undetectable since, That usually means it’s a time to try stopping the drugs and see if your PSA rises. Have any of your doctors talked about doing that?
If you’ve managed to stay undetectable without any drugs, then that would be great.
In your case, a decipher test could tell you what your chance of reoccurrence is.
