My man had his 2nd PSA drawn today and it was <0.06 almost 3 months past surgery. His first one was drawn a month post op and it was <0.1 I realize it has gone down but is 0.06 considered zero? This whole PSA thing can be stressful

I believe that yes it can be considered zero.

Take care.

Wow - what great news! I love zeros.

many of us would consider anything 0.1 or lower to be a zero.

Congratulations and welcome to the zero club.

and you've got nothing to be stressed about and everything to celebrate.

Go enjoy some life and forget about PSA for awhile.

All the best,
Andrew

Great results  You advised that his first test was <0.1, which is the same as <0.10.  The first test may have been <0.06 by using the ultra test, so possibly there has been no change at all.  Still considered undetectable.  Relax and enjoy.

Good news. Yes, you are still in the zero club, any thing lower than .10 qualifies you.
