Hey man, don't stress too much about the numbers right away. Recurrent prostate cancer survival depends on so many factors, like what treatment was done before and if it's localized or spread. Best thing is to talk to your urologist or oncologist directly; they'll give you the clearest picture.

I remember my uncle's PSA levels started rising after his initial treatment, and we all panicked thinking the worst. But the doctors reassured us that recurrence isn't always dire. They found localized spots and managed it successfully. So, don't jump to conclusions, get a thorough check-up.

While a good diet, lots of vegetables and fruits, can definitely support overall health, for recurrent prostate cancer, medical treatment is paramount. Discuss with your doctor if any dietary changes can specifically help, but always prioritize the prescribed treatment.

My grandfather had this. It recurred after a few years, but he's still doing well because he's very disciplined with his follow-ups and medication. It's manageable, but requires constant monitoring. So, regular doctor visits are super important.
