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 🍀

Thank you for your kind response. I do regret not thinking about having a monthly PSA test after my surgery. I just went by what my Urologist indicated, at 5 weeks and at 4 months. Unfortunately I missed the rate at which my PSA increased, which would be very helpful to determine the urgency to start treatment and if ADT will be required.

As well, my Best Wishes to your husband and you.
