Here’s a great video highlighting the decision-making dilemma that comes with a rising PSA after surgery.
It reinforces that I wasn’t nuts in agonizing over my decision to move forward with the decision for salvage radiation. There are just so many variables that go into the decision, and even the “experts” are really just taking their best guess at it.
Dan's Journey through Prostate Cancer 
Hi Dan
Great video. Thank you for bringing it to everyone’s attention. You and I both went through that dilemma of do I wait in order to increase the likelihood that a PSMA-PET scan will detect the cancer or do I proceed immediately with Salvage Radiation to limit the possibility of the cancer spreading. Fortunately in my case at .370 the scan did detect the location of the cancer and 10 months after Salvage Radiation my PSA is still undetectable. Now if I could only see an increase in my .8 testosterone level life would be good despite having to deal with the side effects of incontinence and bowel movements.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for the update from the Scholz, I’m now 6 months post 33 days of Radiation & 6 Hormone injections (all after 12 years remission following RP in 2010). No detectable PSA, Testosterone climbing towards normal, can’t always trust bowel and bladder … some insurance in form of pad / clamp used when long public attendance at some event or other is necessary, although no emergency application thus far. Thanks for posting, Peter from “down under”.
