@edinmaryland I had the RP August of 2025, after the surgery my Urologist sent me to an RO for a follow up if there was a need for salvage radiation. What he told me is if my PSA got to .1 we would be making plans to treat with radiation. If my PSA went to .2 we would begin treatment. The reason for using PSA as a baseline for treatment was that a PetScan would not see it till it was far beyond when treatment started. Just mine and my doctor’s 2 cents here.
