PSA re-rise after Salvage Radiation

[Blackwildhorse]

Had a 6 weeks Salvage radiation in October 2020 years.

After the radiation, the PSA dropped to 0.006 in March 2022. And it re-rise up to 0.010 in May, 0.013 in August and now 0.019.

PSA cannot be go down?

Cannot sleep well because of re-rising PSA. I have to have ADT hormone therapy?

If so, when? Is there any other method?

Those are all the same and negligible PSA. I think it will help you feel better is you switch to a regular PSA test (lowest value 0.1).

Thank you Tall for that clarification. 0.1... was getting worried when people were posting .0000 etc. thought mine wasn't low enough....

FYI: MSKCC in NYC doesn't measure below .05 because they feel anything below that is insignificant.
