PSA Ultrasensitive 0.015 six months after prostatectomy
3 month
PSA
was <0.1, but that was not ultra sensitive. How worried should I be? Next steps? Urologist wants to see what the 9-month
PSA
test looks like, and to get a second Decipher genetic test. (I had one prior to surgery.)

so a different shoe dropped
Then in 2018 his internal medicine doctor ordered a routine
PSA
. Same time his VA doctor also ordered a routine
PSA
. Yeah both were outside the normal range. So he was referred to the urologist. More PSAs and the dreaded bend over and cough.

PSMA PET scan?
PSA
undetectable for last 18 months. I have been taking abiraterone & lupron & I am considering a treatment 'holiday'. Would a PSMA PET scan be beneficial ?

Radiation for Salvage Treatment
I am about to start salvage treatment after a failed surgery and a rising
PSA
value of 0.1. However, I would like to know if weeks of external radiation with ADT, is the best treatment option here.

Potential biochemical recurrence post radical prostatectomy, looking for perspective on the outcomes and treatments.
63-year old Male, months shy of 5-year mark of the radical prostatectomy, showed
PSA
of .08 in January then .07 in March. Originally had up to Gleason 9’s. I know it’s not technically a recurrence until .2, and doubling time is the next variable to look out for.

High PSA after surgery
PSA
on June 2nd was .31. My
PSA
prior to surgery was 6.0 and gleason 3+4. I think my surgeon may have misled me. I had told him prior to agreeing to the surgery that I did not want to give up my sex life and did not want to be incontinent.

ART Limit PSA Screening to Men With Symptoms
For 10 years I never missed a DRE or
PSA
test, headed the
PSA
4.0 safety threshold and wound up with a GS 4+3 tumor filling 30% of my prostate before I found out what I had...but, this story gets better!
