Some labs have a minimum PSA of .006. Looks like you hit the minimum.

Oncologist told me that it should be undetectable the next time he lowered my chemo amount from 140mg to 120mg

@asolidrock
Undetectable is < .1. Some people like to think it is < .01. You ARE undetectable.

Those are fantastic results !!! 👍 May your PSA stay that low forever 🍀🌈
How are you doing in general : ))) ?
I hope that your side effects are under complete control and that your chemo will end soon.
You are really a "rock" strong ! I have no doubt that you will defeat PC 👍

Well my side effects are very minimal. I have lots of energy appetite is good weight is good. The only side effect was my sore tongue after chemo and I've gotten medicine that I spoke of earlier. So I give God the Glory for Goodnes to me and to have such compassionate helpful and encouraging friends on this support group. May God bless you all.
