Hi SRabb
So looks like your treatment is over although possibly u are still on HT.
You need to give some time to find out if worked especially if still on HT.
My first PSA was 6 months after treatment finished so that's the kind of timescale.
You won't really know until u have a few PSA test results but obviously your current PSA very low.
So good, u can relax
Best wishes
Steve
