Radar, good result.

At those levels expect some differences. I certainly wouldn't lose any sleep over it

All my results have come in at <0.1. That's all I want to know - it would be too easy to get stressed out over increases such as yours. I think the medics only get concerned if you get 0.2 or higher.

Circa 0.2 for RP guys and 2 plus nadir for RT RT/HT guys. Both keeping on an eye on 3 consecutive increases of note.

You might be concerned due to last jab saga but medics gave reassurance so try to let go of it and enjoy whatever you enjoy.

Tiny rises and falls are common after RT - look at Ray and my John. They are meaningless in your case - as a man who still has a prostate I would just be thrilled that you have gone that low!

Hi
I'm on HT and stampede J (enzalutamide and abbiraterone) and am bumbling along at .05 and have no concerns apart from side effects.
Enjoy life until whenever.

All the best for many months of low psa's
