AT age 60 a PSA test of 23 relealed Prostate and it was removed.

@rolanddubree , You mentioned that, "PSA tests in later years were always 1 or less." What was your lowest PSA, the nadir? Was it < or = 0.01?
You asked, "Does a PSA only reveal Prostate Cancer or can it reveal Cancer that might have moved to another body location thru my blood system?" My answer: I read somewhere that if PSA has risen 2 points above nadir (e.g., from 0.01 to 2.01), then there is a possibility of recurrence, but needs further tests to confirm. If confirmed, "it can be radiated" as Jeff commented.

@vircet
That two points above the minimum applies to radiation treatment. This person had surgery. In that case anything from .2 and above Is considered a reoccurrence and they would do salvage radiation.
The fact that his PSA never hit anything higher than one is a little strange, But it might be is thinking about .1.
