USPSA Results after 1 year

Hi Everyone!

 

It's been exactly one year since my surgery and I've had 4 USPSA tests.  I'd be interested in your thoughts on the numbers and any suggestions you may have for me moving forward.  My medical team told me not to worry until PSA hits 0.1 - as they consider these levels undetectable.  Thank you all and Happy Thanksgiving.

Surgery 11/25/2019

Pathology:  Gleason 7 (3+4) in 2% of gland

                  No lymph node involvement, negative surgical margins, no seminal vessicle involvement

                  PSA prior to surgery 4.5

USPSA results:  2/17/2020.  <0.006

                       5/20/2020.  <0.006

                       8/20/2020.  <0.014

                     11/20/2020     0.020

Jim

    Tests

    Hi Jim,

    Numbers are very slightly increasing but still very low.  Might want to wait for few more tests to see if you slowly tic upward. When I get my test results it always says less than .01 or undetectable.
