Sometimes you really don’t know how many -or all - cells have been killed.
A friend had lung cancer which they treated with Keytruda.
After it shrunk the surgeon recommended removal. Surgical Pathology showed nothing but dead cancer cells - totally destroyed.
So perhaps yours is kaput, or perhaps as others have stated, the non-cancerous cells are still inside. I guess it will all come down to your future PSA results.
