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.
