How long does it take to see the results of a PSA test usually?

Hi Coleen,
Yes, results came in and was <0.5. Which at Sloan is considered undetectable. We have follow-up appointment today with the surgeon. We will go over what steps are next. My hopes are we will be monitoring his PSA every 2 to three months and pray for positive news. At this juncture we are feeling a bit relieved but know there is a long road ahead. Thanks so much for checking in.

I'm guessing your PSA is actually <0.05, not <0.5.

@cgonsalves <.5 is never undetectable. <.1 is undetectable by all standards.
There must be some confusion here because this is just not correct information.
If somebody has had a prostatectomy and their PSA is .2 They want to do radiation already.
If somebody has had radiation as their primary treatment then .5 would be acceptable, but it’s not undetectable.
