The right time to start radiation post RP with an increasing PSA?

Listen to your medical team/oncologist rather than anecdotal information from non-professionals. It's very hard to compare oneself to others as each person's particular situation is different. For what it's worth, your doctor's advice is similar to the recommendations I received when my PSA reached .20 two years post surgery. I too had a negative PSMA. I'm now three days into an eight-week regimen of radiation therapy of my prostate bed.
Best of luck!

Do you know who ASCO is? They are the American Society of Clinical Oncology. They’re one of the groups that set the standards for treatment.
If the American Society of Clinical Oncology is anecdotal information then I’m wondering who you would depend on for actual advice.
I included their recommendations for what to do when the PSA starts rising after a prostatectomy, as well as the whole article that discusses it.
This was real factual information from medical experts, not anecdotal information.
Interesting that you also mentioned your .2 PSA and having 8 weeks of radiation, wasn’t that exactly what I was telling him is usually done before adding in the ASCO expert medical advice.
