Just got my latest PSA results they dropped from 0.9 to 0.4 in the past 3 months. Is it possible that the Salvage Radiation I had in 2014 is working 2 years after receiving it? I had my prostate remove 8 years ago. I have cut Red Meat (90%) and have tried to eat organic food products.
Sometimes PSA movements are just "odd", quoting my oncologist. For the last 3 months I've had PSA tests every 3 weeks with the results going alternately up and down 300 points. Most recent was down to 1952. As long as I feel well and scan results are favorable, it's just a number.
My guess is that dietary reform is the most important factor that is causing you reduction in PSA, which hopefully will be sustained for a while. I’ve been reading the messaging on PCa internet forums for the past 20 years, and I have seen many men post about reductions they have experienced because of changes in diet. You can get a general overview about the role of diet by doing a web search on terms:
PSA diet “prostate cancer”
(Avoid disreputable sites that want to sell you questionable supplements.)
Update latest PSA 8/2017 is now < 0.1. Oncologist called and said the PSA is now undetectable. Radiation or Diet or both don't really care a dropping PSA is better than a rising one! ED is worse as the PSA drops can't have everything I guess.
