Great news , met with the Urologist today he stated that a reading of 2.04 the cancer had returned, discussed two years of radiation and Lupron shots, As I was leaving I requested a new PSA test, he said it was more than likely not needed, but I insisted... New results today 0.02 undetectable, the Dr. Called me personally as he seldom has the chance to give folks good news... So yes Labs do make mistakes...I feel that now I am going to request the test at 6 month intervals.. Thanks to all of the community.

Labs do make mistakes. Out of band results should always be confirmed.

Congratulations on the great number.

Rule of thumb: any "unexpected" PSA test result should always be re-tested

Anything below 0.10 is considered "undetectable" by my doctors ...

That's a great word --- if we were playing SCRABBLE, I think the word "undetectable" should be worth triple WORD score on the SCRABBLE board !

Handshake of congratulations,
