Husband's elevated PSA level: What could it mean?

@jeffmarc Thank you so much for your information. I agree with you about the salvage radiation. This hospital isn’t the same place I had the prostate surgery. I used to live in Lacrosse Wisconsin where I had the surgery and now live in Newport News Virginia.
Unfortunately it has been difficult to have the care team here take this serious. I feel like they really are not that concerned otherwise they would have looked into my PSA numbers more and care more seriously.
Either way, I believe Hampton University has a cancer research center. I am thinking about starting over and get a second opinion. The odds are against me but I feel this is a better solution because I don’t feel there hasn’t been a true effort with the care team I now have. I sent a message to both theNP and the doctor in Urology a message last Wednesday hoping for a callback. All I got was the NO is out until next Monday. I would have thought someone would have called me back if they were concerned! So with that said I am going to bring up my concerns with this care team and ask for the radiation! If they feel I should wait until next next PSA blood test, then I will be done with that facility. Thank you again for your advice and concern!!! I really appreciate it.

@trtupper
Two good cancer care centers in Virginia are

VCU Massey
Comprehensive Cancer Center
Virginia Commonwealth University
Richmond, Virginia
Comprehensive Cancer Center

University of Virginia Cancer Center
Charlottesville, Virginia
Comprehensive Cancer Center

Not sure either of those would work for you, but I thought I’d at least mention them. National Cancer Institute recommends them
