The thing to watch here is your PSA. .045 May not be a serious problem, You need to see over the next few months if it goes up. After my prostatectomy The lowest I ever had my PSA was < .1 Because I didn’t get an ultrasensitive test that showed more than one decimal point. I have no idea what my PSA was in the ultra sensitive test. It did take 3 1/2 years before my PSA rose above .1 and I had to have salvage radiation.

I had about eight weeks of salvage radiation. I had no side effects at all from it. I would have it done in the morning and immediately would go to work and work a full day. I know some people would sit in their cars after treatment because they felt fatigue. That was 12 years ago. Today they are doing the same salvage radiation with around 20 treatments. Some people are having proctitis issues, Meaning the peeing is a problem, Burning or slow flow can be the result and people get Flomax pills to resolve some of it. You may not have a problem if you do come back here and ask for help. The thing is with your low PSA it may be a long time before it rises to .2 which is the point of which treatment is normally done.

You don’t include any information about your prostate cancer case. What was your Gleason score? Were any of these things found in the biopsy intraductal, ductal, large cribriform, Seminal vesicle invasion, EPE or ECE. (Extraprostatic extensions extra capsular extensions). They can make the cancer much more aggressive and can result in a quicker PSA rise after surgery.

Were the margins clear after the surgery? What did the biopsy of the prostate show? Were you a T1, T2a pr b, T3a or b.

All of these things give an Indication as to whether or not there is a problem coming up soon sooner or later.

Getting a decipher test could help find out whether or not your cancer is likely to reoccur.
