Low, But Rising PSA--Wait for Imaging or Act Now?

I am in the exact same situation and decided to act now. The question certainly isn't settled and Mayo is 2 months into a long term trial to determine whether waiting to see the cancer is as effective as early treatment with radiation and adt as indicated. So when you recur they present this option and ask if you want to postpone treatment. As you, I have idc , cribiform, early recurrence and a doubling time of three to five months. I personally do not feel comfortable waiting and am proceeding immediately with treatment.

Agree. Same here. Similar PC diagnosis. 10 months Post RP PSA rose to .2. PSMA PET/CT scan showed 1 lesion in pelvis. Biopsy confirmed cancer. Immediate SBRT in pelvis and started Orgovyx and Nubequa. PSA now undectable and side effects very manageable. Just tired a lot and weak. Still shot 82 last week - just need to adjust swing tempo! lol. Onward.
