rise rate in PSA after last SBRT treatment

[3step]

Metastisized per PSMA PET Scan/CT before SBRT treatment.

Stopped taking Xtandi just after last SBRT treatment 4/30/2024, 3/12/2024 Lupron expired early Steptember.

PSA readings: May=0.023, July 0.05, October 0.9.89Radiologist directed me to stop taking all hormone theropy on or after last treatment and watch PSA stabalize at 1.0 by the end of 2024.

Should I worry that the rise to a hair under 1.0 was to rapid?

At what PSA marker should I worry and get another scan?

Thanks in advance for any opinions or facts.

There are couple of scenarios that I know

- You may not find anything in PSMA PET SCAN or CT SCAN and PSA will continue grow.

- You may find new mets on PSMA PET SCAN or CT SCAN that's answer the questions why PSA going up.

Questions that I would ask to dr

- Does TRT levels are still low ? and What are the TRT levels ?

- Can I start Xtandi and Lupron again ?

- Does any other opportunity for radiations treatments ?
