PSA Test results today: 0.04
It was a slight increase but the Urologist said it was nothing to worry about, no treatment needed.
You can see a history of test results in my signature. Hopefully next time it drops a little.

Good news.

at the ultra sensitive level the number can bounce a little and still be just fine.

I say, "PARTY TIME!"

Thanks for the positive reply. At first I was a little concerned but I trust the doctor and he said not to be worried.

Good for you! Interesting that at 21 months you jumped to .03 but then at 24 months dropped back to .02. But, I guess it is really not all that unusual to see some up and down variation.

After reading your post, this article written by Tall Allen came to mind...
/prostatecancerinfolink.net/2015/01/14/low-detectable-psa-after-prostatectomy-watch-or-treat/

It sounds like you may fall into the first or possibly the second category; in either case an excellent 7-year recurrence free survival rate.

My husband recently did his 3 month psa test and it came back at .03 after two years of undetectable, and 8 days later we retested for confirmation and the result was <.02. The ultrasensitive test can be very unnerving.

Best of luck to you, Stay+!
