Husband’s low psa, aggressive Gleason 8

That’s interesting. I’ve never heard of a .00 PSA, Testosterone at that level, but PSA may never hit that low. < .01 is Considered undetectable by some, < .1 Is considered Undetectable by others.
Is your oncologist saying that your PSA must be below .00, so .001 would be acceptable? Or, are they saying that it will be completely eliminated? Something that just doesn’t seem to happen.

"I’ve never heard of a .00 PSA"
I've had ultrasensitive PSA tests from two different labs. The hospital lab reports it as "< 0.01". The private lab I used for a bit over a year reported it as "0.00". So while you're entirely correct, strictly speaking, there seems to be a convention sometimes of reporting undetectable PSA as "0.00", just like there's a convention of reporting low risk of progression for early-stage prostate cancer post-treatment as "cured".
