Monitoring PSA post Prostatectomy when should I be concerned?
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: Mar 26, 2023 | Replies (18)Comment receiving replies
Did prostatectomy in 2019, my PSA went up from 0.008 to 0.030. My question is: 1. Could a growing PSA mean a grow back of normal prostate tissues? 2. Is it necessary to do some sort of test to determine if there is any cancer cell before any further treatment becomes necessary?

More likely some cancerous cells remain after the RP but at this stage your PSA is still low. Continue with 1/4ly PSA's and monitor the doubling time.
