I am confused about PSA readings. Many of you have readings of a specific number from 0.1 upwards. I am 5 years post treatment and all of my readings have been by the same lab and all have been the same,<.03, which I am told is the lowest the lab could read. I did have one reading from the VA lab and that was<.02. Is it possible to get readings of 0.00 or<0.01?

Thank you Coleen, that was kind of you.
What I would like to point out is the fact that this group exists at all. I have learned so much here and am merely passing on what may help others make their lives a wee bit easier. I would like to see more involvement from others even if it seems insignificant. The more we know the better we shall all become. So please join in, if even just to say hi I'm here.
Thank you all for being here,
Dale
