No Oncologist is involved yet!! Contacted my Urologist and told him, has not responded yet, I am still considered < 0.02 very low. @ 0.016 that only 16 above 0.000 or none at all so it is very early yet. I will no doubt get rechecked in 3months.

Fmcallister, your question about whether you should be alarmed at rising PSA levels after prostatectomy is commonly asked in the forum. For that reason, I have moved your question to this discussion:

- Post prostatectomy: What do rising PSA levels mean? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/post-prostatectomy/

I strongly encourage you to read through the discussion to see the helpful advice from fellow prostate cancer members. The short answer is "No, you should not be alarmed. But yes, it should be noted by your team and discussed."

Has your urologist been in touch? What did you learn?
