    Good luck. Enjoy the fishing!!! I am with you on the whole test day thing. I do very well keeping any thought out of my head on a routine basis, but I hate that time in between getting the blood drawn and getting the call.
    take care,

    That is interesting…. I had my first PSA test 2 weeks after surgery (because of my complications) with the standard wait is 6 weeks. Do not remember your initial post surgery results but I would ask the doc to “entertain you” and get a six week test then 90 days after that… Best to you
