Hey all—update—first PSA 4 weeks post op was 0.02. A bit early according to my surgeon but ordered by med onc. My BRCA 2 deficiency was noted on the initial biopsy but not on final path. Having more slides looked at as only one block was reviewed in each case. anyone else had this discrepancy? Interested in outcomes

It sounds like you’ve had somatic, genetic test, not hereditary, genetic tests.

When the test is on your tissue, from A biopsy, that can show Things like BRCA But they are not hereditary genetic issues. Your tissue can morph into these different genetic problems and then they can disappear.

Have you had a hereditary, genetic test? That probably would not show anything since if you really were BRCA From heredity every test you took from tissue would still show it.
