Agreed that waiting makes sense until PSA goes higher but worry is they found it in lymph nodes removed
with surgery. Anyone out there have that as well and started radiation and ADT around .08-.1 ?

One can definitely start RT earlier than 0.2 - there are many patients here that did that.

My husband wanted to do it at 0.1 but doubling time became so fast that with doctor's nonchalance he missed that window. He is now (was 2 weeks ago) 0.136 and will have PSMA this Thursday. Regardless of the scan he will start Orgovyx the same day and all prep for RT in about 2 mos.
