Hi everyone,
Three years ago my husband had a prostatectomy Gleason 7 4+3 and a T3a. He was undetected for a year. Then had a rapidly rising PSA over 6 months 0.1,0.2,0.2 and 0.4.
he finished radiotherapy and had two PSA’s of 0.2 and has now moved to 0.3. Does anyone know what’s likely to happen next? Will it just be monitored? Thank you

Hello Fredingtonbf5f6d
I will stick by my reply to you of a couple of months ago when I said "radiotherapy keeps on working and you reach your nadir or lowest reading 18 months after completing the course".
After radiotherapy it's common to get PSA "bounce" where the PSA rises before settling down and thinking about it a rise from 0.2 to 0.3 is negligible.
He will be fine and I assume he's on 3 monthly PSA tests so his team are keeping an eye on him.
Best wishes - Brian.
