PSA undetectable but testosterone remains negligible

I just returned from the surgeon with a PSA of 0.02 and he said he likes to see it at 0.01, so I am on track for a repeat PSA and visit to him in 2 months. He said, " that maybe some cells had jumped the gate", so as with a Gleason score of 3+4, I am at more risk than my brother, whose score was 3+3.

How long after surgery did you have this PSA test come back .02 ??? My very first post surgical PSA test four weeks post surgery was .015. But three months (12 weeks) post surgery PSA was down to <.004

I don’t think many other doctors would think your PSA is too high. The medical standard for undetectable PSA is <.1. You are way below that. It would be more important to see if your PSA is rising them to make any comments at all about .02 being too high.
I think a second opinion would get very different side of what you’re hearing.
