They usually wait until PSA reaches 2 before prescribing Zytiga or Xtandi.

My husband has had no scans yet. the past three months his PSA went from 0.08 to 0.30. At what level of PSA did your husband have a PET scan?

Quoting from Keeper70's bio:

".... Psa has been undetectable until May ‘22 , prescribed Casodex due to doubling of psa and doubled again in Sept ‘22, still low at 0.19. "
