After Prostatectomy??

So I had a prostatectomy in 2021, I am now 57. Everything went back to normal....if you get my drift! I thought that this cancer diagnosis was behind me....it still is but I think something is looming ahead!! You see I have stuck religiously with 3 monthly PSA tests. When I first had my Prostatectomy my results after 3 months were 0.014 back in 2021. In the first year they stayed the same, the second year they went up a bit. In the last 12 months the 4 last results were 0.07, 0.08, 0.09 and a few days ago 0.14. My consultant has previously said that the standard is to do something at equivalent to or higher than 0.2. Judging on these figures I will be at that point in 3 or 6 months from now. Am I correct in this or am I just being hysterical!!?? 😆
