Rising PSA years after radical prostatectomy

I would think scans, SRT radiation and they will likely suggest ADT therapy as well. My jump in PSA percentage wise was very similar to yours.

I wish I could find the chart but I'm not having any luck. Someone posted a chart in here that showed a correlation between PSA level and positive results from a PSMA scan (meaning finding cancer). I had the scan but none was found. (my PSA level was only .091 at the time, but rising quickly) Maybe this will trigger a repost 🙂

I'll tell you that I was dreading getting this treatment, but, it really went by rather quickly and I was lucky to not have side effects that were too bad. If this is the route you take, hopefully you'll have a similar experience.

If I may, how do you define undetectable when taking the ultra-sensitive PSA Test?

Thank you web265 for your response. I appreciate you sharing your salvage radiation experience. I suspect I will follow a similar path and hope the side effects are not too bad. What is your PSA now? As for my undetectable PSA, all I can say is that it was <0.01.
