Post surgery PSA after 3 months was 1.77

Not the outcome you were looking for. I get it as my post surgery PSA never went below .03 for 6 months then .04 for 6 months, then .08 after 18 months then .22 at 2 years. PSMA was clear then Radiation and ADT followed. Sometime a second opinion is helpful with a fresh set of eyes. I would suggest an NCCN facility with GU oncologists. Not sure who you are being seen by. If I go BCR again I will go the facility that I had my second opinion with. My Current doctor is an surgical oncologist with an interested in oncology per his bio. If I have another reoccurrence I will be in front of a GU Oncology. No more patience for doctors that want to merely practice on me. Best wishes on your journey.

@chippydoo , Like others said, you should get at least one second opinion if not two from a center of excellence like Sloan Kettering, Mayo, MD Anderson and others of the same quality.
I did after I was diagnosed with PC. You're not going to hurt your doctors' feelings feeling's by doing so and if they get upset, then they aren't the doctors you need. I told my doctors I got a couple of second opinions and where I went and they were happy I did that.
You only have one life, and you need to fight as hard as you can to get the best outcome as you possible can.
This group of people in this forum are an absolutely a great source of information, but in the end, it's between you and your doctors. Best of luck and Happy New year!!
