@wheel1 Thank you for your comment. I understand that you meant the 0.20 PSA value. I guess I still need to identify the PSA trend and rate of change to determine the urgency to begin treatment.

@wheel1
This patient had RP , so his BCR is definitive at PSA 0.2 , not 2.0.
@animate , I am so sorry that you have to deal with this : ((, my husband is in similar situation, his PSA is slowly rising and it is tremendously stressful.
I can totally understand your fear about PSA rising to almost 0.2 and doctors still taking their time to act and do all tests but is it always like that : (((. That is why we did uPSA every single month (on our cost) so we would not be "surprised" *sigh.
Try to insist on things moving faster, call every day to check for cancellations etc.
Wishing you all the best and may RT completely and forever eradicate your cancer 🍀
