I concluded SBRT five weeks ago for my prostate cancer. Apparently there was a mix upsomewhere so I didn't subsequently receive a message from the hospital for a PSA test after 4 weeks so I arranged it myself in the 4th week. I am rather surprised that my PSA seems to have risen a lot since I had the SBRT treatment which seems counter intuitive. In December my PSA level was 3.68, now, after the treatment it is 6.4. (I concluded the 5 session SBRT on 27th June). Because of the communications mix up and being away in the last week of August I won't see my oncologist until early September. I have read quite a lot about PSA bounces later on, but not a lot on PSA levels in that immediate month after SBRT so I don't know if this rise is normal. Has anyone else had similar experience?
