Post prostate removal

I am 65 years old. I was diagnosed with Prostate cancer in August 2022 and was operated in September 2023 to remove prostate gland, seminal vesicles and lymph nodes. Till 9 months after operation the PSA varied from 0.006 to 0.013. In November 2023, I developed swelling in my left foot. The apparent cause was water retention due to lump removal. I was advised to wear compressions socks, which I have been doing regularly. In Nov’ 23 my PSA was 0.010 and Suddenly it increased to 0.261 on 31 Dec’ 23.

Could anyone please advise and guide me with the likely causes?

1. I started using Thrive 2.0 to grow hairs at bald spots since beginning Dec’ 23.

2. I started using medicine for hypothyroid again since Dec’ 23.

3. Or it is a relapse?

Would be grateful for advice or sharing of experience.

Thank you
