After radiation, the PSA can jump around. I know people that have taken three years before their PSA hit the bottom. The rule is the wait until the PSA hits two points above the bottom it ever hit. As soon as it’s been after your radiation, you really do need to wait a while before you decide to have hit bottom and started coming up. The two point rule doesn’t illuminate having a PSMA PET scan if your PSA hits 1.
What your doctor has decided really is the standard of care most doctors would follow.
