One small correction: I think you’ve got a decimal place error. PSA is generally considered to be less than 0.01 ng/mL at the Mayo Clinic and at Northwestern medicine in Chicago where I get my care.

Good luck on your journey.

That’s interesting. All the guys on the Reddit boards that go to Mayo say Mayo won’t test for less than 0.1 because of patient anxiety as well as the fact they won’t treat it further until it goes above 0.1 anyway.

Not quite sure what you mean by .01. The standard for undetectable is a PSA below .1. Where does .01 fit in at those institutions?
