PSA still undetectable?

Prostatectomy September 2022. PSA since op 0.01 latest PSA 0.03 Urologist states will check it again in 3 months rather then 6. 0.03 still very low but why the rise. Could the cause be micro prostate cancer cells hiding somewhere? PSMA pet scan pre op all clear apart from the two lesions in Prostate. Bone scan pre op all clear.

Is it a concern if it has taken this long to rise slightly, am I right to conclude it is going to take a long time to get to 0.2 if it ever does? So nothing much to worry about? Just check again in three months time . Any thoughts, I would be interested to hear.

Thanks Ian
