Should I wait for my next PSA test or see the oncology team now?

This is such an understandable dilemma after receiving those first post-surgery results. Many patients in this community face similar decisions about timing additional consultations versus waiting for follow-up tests. While only the medical team can provide guidance specific to the situation, connecting with other community members who have navigated similar crossroads might offer valuable perspectives on how they approached these important timing decisions.

It wouldn't hurt to get the opinion of the radiation and hormone doctors. You can always say no to further treatments if your PSA is undetectable in August.

Dear Oscar — I wish I could get access to a multidisciplinary team! In my 3 years since diagnosis and 2 years since treatment I have accumulated 23 negative side effects of EBRT and ADT. I have also accumulated 7 specialist physicians (with an 8th scheduled but not yet seen). Not one of these doctors has helped eliminate or even lessen any of my 23 afflictions. Each operates in his/her own specialty without any regard for or interest in anything the other doctors have done or suggested. And if you succeed in getting such a meeting, please do a followup post to report what was decided; maybe a suggestion or two by them could help me.
