That's nasty, waiting days for the results of a test that takes under an hour to run in a hospital lab. I'm sorry you have to deal with the extra stress.

OK, someone is spying on me in this thread! 🙂 I suspect @colleenyoung ... 🙂
This is the quickest I have gotten a test result from Mayo Clinic in 15 months. I always get my blood drawn on a Wednesday, & my prior test results didn't even appear until Saturday!
The new PSA value from yesterday is 0.02.

When my cancer care was under the auspices of the Fred Hutch Cancer Center & the local U. Wash Medical Center labs, my PSA test results were available in a couple hours. They were not ultra-sensitive tests.
From where I live now, my PSA blood draws are flown (I'm presuming it's overnight) to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. I used to get next-day results from them, but recently it's been two to three days. I don't know if the delay is the flight, the lab, or the reporting into my local MyChart account.
I have thought of seeing if it's possible to set up a Mayo Clinic account & see my results as soon as they're done, but so far I haven't.
I'm impatient, but not that impatient (now that I'm older). It's not like I have to make a sudden decision based on the results, & I get lab draws every four weeks. I make decisions based on trends anyway.
