@surftohealth88 I'll just add that thresholds are different after treatment. If your prostate is removed or radiated, and you're _still_ seeing a PSA ≥ 0.2, then it warrants further investigation, especially if you're also on ADT.

(It might not be anything serious, of course, but they need to monitor you closely.)

Yes - thanks for adding this fact in this thread. : )
There could be people here who are reading and do not know that threshold is different for RP and RT patients. I was concentrating on answering to this particular patient who had RARP , but it is wise to always consider having new members here.
