Just got results (via e-mail) from my 5th year PSA test. I was forced to switch labs this year and my previous 4 test came out 0.1 listed as undetectable this test results were 0.01 Im afraid to get excited does anyone know why the extra 0?

Apparently you were getting the standard PSA test, which can only detect down to .1 but now you switched to the ultra sensitive test which detects down to a lower .01
I assume you meant <.01. Which means the level of PSA was too low to be detected by this test.

Get excited

You bet that is great. Probably has been that low with the previous tests but their analysis system didn't grade below 0.1
Whooo Hooo
