I am only comfortable with three months. With my PSA rising over the past year, I am doing my next one at the two month range.

We need to do what is best for us as an individual. I am approaching my 3rd year after radiation. The time frame given to me by UHFPTI was going to be longer than every 3 months as the time frame went on and no significant issues with my PSA numbers (I had proton only no hormone).
However my Mayo PCP and I have agreed as a team that we will do the test every 3 months because we both want to see any significant changes that we may need to address.
Our mental health is just as important as our physical health. And for me my PCP recognized that and supported continuing to order my PSA tests every 3 months. My last test was .12
That is down from the 3.75 at time of diagnosis. You can see a normal PSA does not mean you don't have PC nor a high one meaning you have PC.
