I do not see how a PSA < 0.001 is even possible since men with no tentacles will be higher than < 0.1 since there are other organs that produce small amounts of testosterone.

Lupron takes care of the testicles.

Abiraterone / Zytiga takes care of the androgen sources. Hence "ANDROGEN Deprivation Therapy" (ADT)

@pesquallie
@readandlearn replied with exactly what I was going to make a point about.

I have heard from people that have < .001, Not sure if they were on Zytiga at the time, but it has been reported.

I’ve also heard from people that have been getting < .006 Which is the minimum some machines can reach.
