My mistake was I had my robotic prostatectomy done by Dr. Vipal Patel and thinking he was God I never thought I would have to worry about dealing with this again, WRONG!
After prostatectomy PSA was <0.1 on 2/28/2020, <0.1 on 10/2/2020, 0.05 11/2/2021 (Hello! That was the warning light!) then 0.45 on 1/24/2025, then most recent blood work it came back at 0.99 on 4/24/2026.

The 11/2/21 of .05 is still less than .1 so that wasn't bad unless the others were less than the .05.
Here is an interesting article. I didn't see that they mention radiation in he article. Seems you would want radiation and ADT. How Low Does PSA Need to Go in Metastatic Prostate Cancer?

@biggalew May I ask why you weren't tested between Nov 2021 and Jan 2025? That's more than 3 years, when you should have been tested every 6 months at a minimum. You have a doubling time of around one year which is pretty fast.
You need to talk to a radiation oncologist ASAP.
