Radiation does not drop PSA instantly, it gradually drops.... Radical prostatectomy should be zero PSA

The goal is less than 1.0 for most people. It may take several months for the PSA to drop. I am getting a PSMA PET SCAN again in October to assess response to Radiation. I hope I do not need to be back on ADT or any other treatment, but if I need it, I am all for it. It’s a battle.
