Generally salvage radiation and hormone therapy, based on your final, surgical pathology and future PSA tests.

There is a sticky thread at the top of the posting lists. You can find good information there.

I was same as you following surgery. (see info below).
Six months after surgery my PSA was at 0.94.
I had savage radiation (Sept/Oct. 2014) and 18 months of ADT shots (last Feb. 2015)
This has been the "Norm" when there is a recurrence following RP.
Thankful and very relieved that I remain undetectable!
Now, I think I'd try to get one of the new scans like Axumin PET before starting any treatments to see if they could pinpoint any areas.
Hope you stay at zero and never have to make additional treatment decisions.
Mike
