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

@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.

@brucemobile
Thanks so much Bruce

I am really in the data collection phase and will see a RO at Hopkins in three to four week. All this information is super helpful. She already has me set up for some labs but I do not know what they might be yet, She was recommended by others on this list and luckily I will be able to see her

Does radiation after RARP connect with more incontinence or regression?
