Thanks for all your explanation and advice. The moment it was determined that it has extended to right seminal Vesicles but has not metastasized anywhere else in the PSMA PET scan, RP was done immediately and PSA was monitored.
PSA crept up in one year from undetectable to 0.3. PSMA PET scan confirmed recurrence. Went through 20 Photon radiation IMRT as well as on Orgovyx. Waiting for 3 and 6 month PSA and Testosterone tests before requiring another PSMA PET scan. Also will be tested bone density, liver and lipid. Anything else I should be looking at ?

@mrunr Should do a CBC since Orgovyx can lower hemoglobin/hematocrit to anemic levels. Make sure panels are ordered for liver (CMP) and lipid (probably what is being done, may have also included CBC but you do not know if you do not ask) since they provide more info than single test.

@mrunr
Sorry to hear that you had BCR, but unfortunately positive margins and vesicle invasion did put you in high risk for having one : ((.
I am wishing you super successful RT and may you be cancer free in very near future 🍀.
