What care, tests, treatment and follow-up do you have after radiation?

Seems like the PSA is the standard follow up. It is good to get feedback from others if something else is being done different. Hope you feel better as you recover.

Did your doctor say what they were looking for in numbers for your PSA? How quick goes down, how much?

I had 45 radiation treatments. Only follow up has been PSA testing. First psa following treatment was .04. Considered zero....very pleased. Now it is PSA every 3 months, urologist visit in 3 months. My primary did an ultrasound of organs/lymph nodes etc. Soon I can get off the treadmill of testing and go to PSA every six months.
