This is my first post, althought I have been reading the entries here for a few days. I have seen your name come up a lot, usually helping and encouraging others. Well, it's your turn now- be encouraged, my friend. You have my prayers. I had the robotic surgery 3 weeks ago, and my first post-op PSA comes up in June, so I could use your prayers also. Godspeed.0

To both of you I wish only the very best results. Keep positive thoughts and know we are all praying for extremely low, or non-existant numbers.rockin01 said:This is my first post, althought I have been reading the entries here for a few days.

A PSA assay does not go into a negative value. However, it can be so low as to be undetectable. Waiting for 1 1/2 years for a post-op PSA is unimaginable. By the same token, a PSA assay directly after surgery would likely be inaccurate due to residual PSA. However, your surgeon or urologist would normally have you back in for a PSA assay a month or so post-op or at least at 3 or 6-months intervals.0

This is not my first PSA since Surgery.....I took PSA exams every 3 months after surgery, now every six months.nodawgs said:A PSA assay does not go into a negative value.

Sorry...from the tone of the message, I presumed this was a major, milestone event. I'm end stage and not a prayer person. However, if I were, I'd ask the divine intervener to start tending to business by focusing on the 52.2 innocent infants and adolescents that die horrific deaths from this wretched disease every single day.fcatroneo said:This is not my first PSA since Surgery.....I took PSA exams every 3 months after surgery, now every six months.
