@wert1234 Jeff Marchi’s reply below is as good as it gets.

I hope that you are treated in Cancer Center of Excellence - please make sure to go to the best hospital in your area.
Cancer was left in your body and you need additional treatment ASAP.
Jeff gave you detailed advice and guidance and please proceed with finding the best treatment center in your area. I am surprised and concerned that your doctor is not the one that is answering to all those questions and is not on top of your situation already : (((.

This would happen if there were more metastasis in your body than were found before the surgery. Did you have a PSMA Pet test before you were having a prostatectomy?
10 weeks after surgery your PSA should be Undetectable if it’s not then you need to speak to a doctor right away and get some testing done. The only possibility I can think of would be if your PSA were over 500 before surgery and has not gone down all the way yet, But I don’t think that really would happen anyway. Removing the prostate should’ve dropped it to undetectable.
A PSMA pet test would be the first thing Most doctors would. Your PSA is high enough that it should show whatever is going on.
What you were having is unusual, It just sounds like somebody did not do the proper testing to see what was really going on Before doing surgery.
