ozelli,
Seems your numbers are good going down.

I did not have hormone treatment either. My PSA started at 3.75 (Yes normal but was rising steadily for several years). I at the post treatment mark now at 2.6 years. My last PSA was .10

My Mayo PCP said the Mayo Jacksonville lab does not give PSA numbers below .10 as with their lab considered undetectable. I know many other labs are different so just passing on what my PCP stated.

My UFHPTI R/O stated to me their goal was a below 1.0 PSA maintained. I was told I would have bumps and completely common and do not mean anything unless continue to bump up.

I would have had hormone treatments if my risk level of intermediate had been kept. But I had Decipher and came back as low risk so my risk level was reduced to low which did not come with hormone recommendation from my Mayo R/O nor UFHPTI R/O.

Congrats JC…yes, that is as good as it gets. I think 0.2 is also pretty much considered cured. Was watching a seminar on YT yesterday and the presenter said something to the effect of under 0.3 and only 3% of those folks have BCR within 10 years. Might have been under 0.5….cant remember exactly. Anyway, it was positive to my ears at least.
