Is there anyone or does anyone know of someone whose PSA has stabilized below 0.2 when it had been slowly rising all the time?

I can't recall who, but io I know I have seen that happen with a few guys here. And my surgeon told me he does see that happen, when my PSA started to rise, because he didn't think I should do early salvage radiation . (I didn't listen to him, and I did the radiation when PSA hit .08)

I am coming up on several years of 'very low stable' uPSA following my third treatment, salvage extended pelvic lymph node surgery. This is the progression I am tracking - important to note no ADT:
<0.010 - 23 months
0.01X range - 8 months
0.02X range - 7 months
0.03X range - since June, 2021 - (3.10 years)
X = fluctuations in thousand value

Ten years ago at the time of my Dx this is one of the research articles I bookmarked: Paraphrasing:'men with low detectable stable PSA do not often experience disease progression and can be followed safely. However, men with low detectable unstable PSA experience BCR and can start salvage XRT at a lower tumor volume'. I hope this helps. All the best!

Thanks, that article was helpful. My PSA is just starting to rise after 6 years. -J
