Barry, the margin for biochemical recurrence is generally considered to be 0.2, so unfortunately your reading of 0.19 very likely does indicate that some cancer cells escaped the procedure and are starting to spread again. You may well be offered HT+RT as a follow-up treatment.

Sorry to hear your news,

Chris

If you didn’t see the consultant in Feb when the PSA rose to 0.188 then it might be a good idea to contact his / her secretary and ask for the May appointment to be brought forward - the sooner you have a referral to oncology to discuss salvage treatment the sooner you will know what next steps are being planned.
