You could come to an ancan.org Meeting, There’s one next Monday at 5pm. Disclose the information about your case and ask The people there for recommendations. There’s almost always three or more doctors in the meetings. Rick, who runs it has a huge database of information. That’s where I hear about it but the following concurs.

For biochemical recurrence (BCR)—defined as PSA
0.2 ng/mL after radical prostatectomy—the primary recommendation is usually salvage radiation therapy (SRT) to the prostate bed, often combined with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for high-risk cases. Modern guidelines emphasize using ADT, specifically in combination with enzalutamide or other anti-androgens, based on PSA kinetics and risk factors.
