Post RP PSA Question

I haven't been here in awhile - so hello again everyone.

I do have a question. I am almost one year out from my RP Surgery. The first 3 PSA ( Ultrasensitive) tests were less than .01 which my doc was thrilled with. I recently had a full physical and all the requisite blood tests and that also included a "standard" PSA. This time is was .02 ( just 6 weeks after the last uPSA). The test here was NOT the Ultrasensitive and it was a different lab and machinery. My primary still called that "undetectable", but I have had some anxiety. MY common sense and research tells me this is a non-issue, which is what my doc indicated.

Please share your thoughts....and Thanks!

What was the test sensitivity of the second test? .02 might be lowest that lab could read and maybe should have been noted as <.02.

Likely nothing to worry about, but maybe get another test in a few months back at the first lab to put your mind at ease.

Then you're fine. The second test likely can't detect anything lower than .02. You fine to wait till the next normal test. If either test comes back over .02 (.03 or higher), then you need a longer talk with the doctor.

The two numbers you have now are reasons for having a really great party.
