Well, we had August surgeries, thereby allowing us to follow those folks in one thread.

Since my upcoming PSA will be in about 2 weeks, I figured I'd start this thread for us nervous nellies about to have a PSA test.

My signature indicates my status. The short version: 0.01 then 3 months later 0.02.

Hoping it's not a trend. I can see being nervous under any circumstances. If my PSA had been <0.01 (undetectable) I would still be just as worried, hoping the string remains unbroken!

I'll take the test either end september or start of October. I'm already getting nervous.

Sorry Mel, I should have posted under your thread. Got a Zero today (<0.01, undetectable), 1 year post-op.

John has his 6 month coming up next week...I still get the willies whenever I know he has another PSA test coming due. But, 2.5 years after surgery, I'm not nearly as concerned (or consumed) with the test and its results.

Got results of 3rd post op psa today. .01

that makes three zero's in a row for me.

My one year PSA test is on Sept. 15th. For the three month checkups so far, I have had: .04, .03, .02, then .05. This next one better be low!

my 10 month PSA is on Sept 23 - last one was in march - 0.05 .... trying to stay optomistic ...

My first (six week) post op psa was on Sept 3. It was non-detect. I sure hope they stay that way for another 25 years or so.

I get a PSA test in mid October and I'm already nervous about it since it is the first time I had to wait 6 months to get one.

2 weeks until my next PSA. Just about 1.5 years.

I have my 60 day follow up Sept 24th, my last PSA came in at .71 which surprised me. If it doubles again I will have to decide on ADT3 again or to wait it out a little longer. I will update when I get the results.

peace to all

My first post op PSA is 9/28.  I am not really thinking about it too much right now but Im sure I will after the blood comes out.

WOW!!! Quite a few PSA results due this month.

We should make this a weekly thread (Sept-- Week 1; Sept.-- Week 2; etc.)

I posted earlier, but my Sept PSA was <.1, which is 0. This was the one year, and I will go to six months now. Funny, I no longer care like I once did. Maybe that's good, maybe bad.

Just had my one year drawn yesterday and got the result this afternoon. I'm at .005 and holding.

Having mine next week.  Appointment with the Uro. on the 23rd.  The one nice thing is that the results will be faxed to me before I go, therefore, giving me time to plan my method of attack if it is inflated.  Have had a string of 0.1's so I hope it at least stays there.  If not, then I'm going in for a looooooooong discussion with the doc.  Have kept posts from Zufus to discuss if need be.

Wish me luck.

T40, that is a real low PSA score. How low can those things go with the ultra sensative tests? Anyone know?

Congrats to you.
