Patrick, my post op PSA was 0.04 ten times less than yours. Within 33 months it was 0.2 and following a rise to 0.27 I started salvage RT. I was refused a PSMA scan and my SRT was to the prostate bed only. My post SRT did drop for a while and 6 years after SRT at 1.8 a scan could find nothing in the prostate bed but did find a tumor in a lymph node that was treated and following another scan another tumor was found in another lymph node.

What did the nurse on this site say about your situation. My medical team said they would be criticised for letting my post op PSA go past 0.3 without giving additional treatment.

Thanks Chris
