I had robotic prostate surgery on April 1st after Gleason (4+3) 7. My 6 week PSA 0.32 increased to PSA 1.82 at 18 weeks. I have an upcoming PET Scan to be followed by an appointment with a radiation oncologist in the next few weeks. Has anybody had a similar experience.

Rising PSA levels after surgery can understandably cause concern, and it's encouraging that your medical team is taking proactive steps with the PET scan and radiation oncology consultation. Many community members have navigated similar situations and found it helpful to share their experiences and support each other through the process - hopefully others will chime in with their stories and insights.
