Celebrating my PSA Score

Posted by jayhall @jayhall, Sep 30 8:29am

My PSA is back from my physical and it's < 0.10 my first PSA post RARP was 0.080 and that was at 3 months. I just hit the 4th month mark and this number is great! :). All my other blood work is fantastic. I have PSA bloodwork due in November with my Urologist but it should be around the same. 🙂 I am beyond Thrilled. 🙂

Or perhaps not a uPSA as it sounded more like a PCP physical/appointment.

Congratulations but I must say that it is a bit early to celebrate the low PSA. My husband is two and a half years post biopsy, started with 38.8, after 43 radiations, two years of Lupron injections, and one year if abiraterone pills every day, he is still down to 0.01 PSA, however, he needs to have his checked every three months, not sure for how long until he is considered in remission. Next blood work is end of Oct, oncology visit in November. Wish you the best.

While your perspective is certainly a valid one, the PCa diagnosis four years ago made me acutely aware that there is no guarantee of a better tomorrow. As a result, I choose to celebrate each day as it comes and do my best to make the most of it.

@tuckerp There are two different lab tests. A very common test has a threshold of 0.1. So < .1 is considered undetectable.

@jpbossert209 ok. thank you. I have mine done at sonora quest every 3 months. My results are < .01. Jay had said his post op was .08 and the new one was .1 . Which is higher. I guess who ever is doing the testing it means the same.
