Thanks for the reply. My PSA jumped from .20 in July to .23 at the end of the year. The PET scan showed some small “hot spots” and I have an appointment Wednesday morning to get started with the CT simulation before radiation. My thought is to get the radiation out of the way and worry about the type of surgery after I get rid of the cancer.

Your PSA has hit the point where salvaged radiation may be needed. It can be useful for the CT to be done at this point to see what it finds.
You may want to check out this video. It seems to apply to exactly your situation. You have a very slow rise in PSA. Is treatment necessary/
