@jeffmarc The docs told me should steadily decrease down to <.1 but I am aware of the possibility of a bounce. I was at Gleason 6 for 10 years and then it went to 7 with a slowly increasing PSA. I had always told myself that if it ever did jump to a 7 I'd do something about it. Decipher said it was slow growing and brachy alone should suffice. Same as the oncologists said.

@nittanylion
I don’t know if any doctor can definitively say that the PSA is going to drop to <.1 after radiation. Everybody’s different not everybody has it drop to undetectable.
