I had a PSA test at week 8 post op (less than .01). what are the recommended lengths of time to have the next series of PSA tests?

Based on your path report I would think that every six months would be what the doctor will recommend. In the mean time take care of yourself, enjoy family and friends and write the next chapter of life in a beautiful joyous way.

My Doc did every 3 months for year 1, then every 6 months for year 2, then every year thereafter.

I've had mine done every 3 months within the first year- next one due end of this month. Doc said after that he will schedule it 6 months apart.

Mine has been every 3 months. I will be at the 12 month mark later this month and hope to go to 6 month.
