RP at age 72 in Aug 2022. My 1st PSA test 90 days post-op in Nov reported .19 (confirmed 30 days later at .18).
So my post-op PSA never was undetectable and it was called "persistent".
FYI: My lymph nodes, seminal vesicles and margins were clear; and nonfocal EPE was reported on the surgical path report.
My surgeon referred me to a RO, who saw me in December.
I began ADT Orgovyx in Feb 2023, radiation Mar - May and ended ADT June.
My 1st post SRT uPSA was taken 6 mos after radiation ended in Nov 2023 and reported undetectable < .02 thru Quest Diagnostics.
And I have continued undetectable on all of my quarterly uPSA tests.
I couldn't be happier with the results of my treatment.
Also, I want to note that my radiation treatments were to the pelvic floor and the pelvic lymph nodes (WPRT), also consistent with the SPORTT trial.
And all of my treatment was by Johns Hopkins and it's Physicians.
Best wishes to you in your decision making.

@michaelcharles
Thank you for your detailed clinical history. It seems like my case is similar to yours. I hope that I turn out as well as you have, regardless of whether I end up with ADT or not, which will be decided later this week with my Oncologist.
Much appreciated!
