I just received my second PSA test and I'm thrilled. So after three months of completing 28 proton beam therapies, my PSA is now at 2.21. Quest DIAGNOSTICS is my lab.

@saxman911 Great news. When I got my first one it came on my portal. I had my eyes closed and then looked. Mine went down from 3.75 at start, 3 months later 1.2 adn then at 6 months .79.

But mine was low when I started treatments. Great feeling after going through all those treatmetns isn't it!!!

What was your starting PSA level.

Saxman: Layperson adding in here.
My understanding is that PSA following radiation as primary tx, or salvage radiation in my case, should continue to reduce for 6 mos after radiation and perhaps longer.
I had RP, but I think that radiation pts are looking for a low point or nadir of PSA in the " 2" range.
So yes, 2.21 sounds good to me.
Best wishes.
