Thanks jc...some good points. I do need to find out what number is considered undetectable. I'm pretty sure it's 0.10 but I'll ask during Wednesday's appointment. I'll be on ADT minimum of 2 years so long as it's working.

It is good to know the lab you are using undetectable number. As you can see from other post the numbers are all over the place as to what is undetectable number at labs.

Labs use different equipment and test procedures so it is good to know what yours is going to use. Did your doctors remind you to use the same lab for all your test? That guidance goes along with different labs numbers and what they use as undetectable.

Good luck at your appointment.

I did not have ADT. I was originally going to have it based on my original diagnosis prior to Decipher as I was intermediate risk. The Decipher came back low risk and the recommendation for hormone treatments was removed.

Actually, the number is < .1. That is what the medical community considers undetectable.
