If he had a prostatectomy then .2 PSA is when they want to do salvage radiation. You spent a lot of time considering having adjunct radiation instead of waiting for salvage radiation. You still have time to wait. Your doctor may want to start doing something at .1 because of the advanced case, or he may not.

It has almost doubled in five months. The doubling rate is the important thing doctors look at. At that rate, you could have a couple more years before it hits .2.

What I’m saying is, It’s too early to worry. You can contact the doctor, but he probably isn’t going to want to do anything yet. The next PSA test is the one you need to be more concerned with, and it might just go down.

Thanks Jeff < 3

Hopefully it will go down next month /\ (*knock the wood)

Yes, when we had consult with MO about adjuvant, he told us that he should wait and see if PSA climbs, and if it ever does that he suggest we start RT at PSA 0.1 since my husband has aggressive cancer.

Those 6 mos gave us at least time for complete healing (no incontinence), so we shall see what his RP doctors says.

I am so glad that we insisted on meeting RT and MO immediately post op since now we are in their system and all appointments will be easily made and arranged if needed.

Thanks again for encouraging words.
