Has anyone had PC that is very aggressive and a very low low PSA?

I have PC with a Gleeson score of 9-10/10. My PSA was checked with bloodwork at annual physicals. In 14 months I went from normal to stage 4. December PSA about 3. By the time my local university medical system did scans and biopsies (over 4 months), it was 17.
I switched to Mayo. 14 months so far of ADT, 6 rounds of Docetaxel chemo, and 20 days of radiation. My 6 month post radiation scan was clean. No recurrent disease at this time.

Which mayo clinic did you go to if you don't mind me asking . I'm Jeff. My original Gleason score was 3+4 PSA WAS JUST OVER 5..had the robotic procedure Ion August of 2015. Everything seemed well and was declared cancer free after 5 years (202). Thing were going well till July of 2022 and the psa clicked up to point 1. Waited 3 months and it went to .18 just checked last week and it's now at 34..rocky mountain cancer centers wants me on the orv pill, one
urology oncologist wants to keep waiting. Third radiation oncologist wants to do radiation salvage but no drugs. Is it worth my time to go to the matin clinic. I just turned 60
Where was the metastasis that you were stage 4 How do you get out of that stage? I thought one could not

I’m on Medicare, and Mayo won’t accept my insurance. I would be interested. If you could ask your oncologist what he thinks about aggressive prostate cancer with very low PSA.
Thanks
