one year post radiation advice

Hey gently, why did they do a scan in the first place? Routine or rising PSA?
If it’s the latter, maybe you have to have more frequent PSA tests to see if there is an increased PSA velocity. Don’t remember your primary treatment - was radiation primary or salvage?

Phil, thank you. Radiation was primary. The second PSMA was scheduled at the time of treatment. There was an equivocal node that orgovyx hadn't affected which made the determination that it was not metastatic. PSA reached the lowest .27 six months post radiation, now .28.
I wondered how unusual it was to have an after PSMA. The doctor said that she usually orders one at the one year mark.
I'm wondering how to handle the sub centimeter right iliac node close to the nerve bundle.
Do you know about microscopy? Would PSE be useful?
I appreciate your attention.
