My team has told me that once I went undetectable, I'd do every 3 mos for a year, then every 6 mos for two years and finally once a year. Of course, I was only undetectable for 3 mos so that all went out the window.

I asked my urologist at that time if he would order a test every 6 regardless and he said yes, if that makes you more comfortable, we can do that. I would say this is really up to you. Do whatever you and your husband are most comfortable with.

My friend who had RP last year has been getting his PSA checked each month. His Gleason was 8. Not sure about anything else in his case. He will only start radiation if he sees a rise in PSA so that is his reasoning for going once a month. Normally, I think they start you out at every 3 months standard but it is only a quick blood test so I think most Urologists are open to testing more.
