Will PSA ever hit 0 or close to it?

I did not have hormone treatments so won't get any personal experience with hormone treatments from me.
Regarding the PSA. What is considered undetectable depends on the lab and their equipment. Different labs can use very different numbers used that indicate undetectable level of PSA. Mayo Lab Jacksonville uses >.10 as undetectable able. So Mayo Lab Jax would never see a 0 just >.10
Other labs use different levels of what is considered undetectable and quite frankly seems a very different from one lab to another. I have not seen any posters list a lab that has a 0 number as undetectable.
Good luck!

Actually, The medical community generally considers < .1 as undetectable. Some labs can go as low as < ,001 And others < .006 But that is not considering undetectable that is just the value they come up with.

Yes I get that
0.1 or 0.01 is undetectable
