My first PSA test after surgery
Received my first bloodwork test since surgery in my portal this morning, and it shows my PSA is at Prostate-specific antigen Hybrid
<0.080 ng/mL
My PSA level before surgery was 4.8

2 ReactionsCongrats! Next one in 90 days, I assume?
Looks good, happy for you!!
This looks good. It’s supposed to stay undetectable after surgery and that is <.1.
How long after surgery was this PSA done? It usually isn’t done for at least six weeks. It will be interesting to hear what the next PSA says.
@jeffmarc Its been 13 weeks since surgey
@turtbean not sure yet. test was in my portal, and see dr next week to discuss

Some doctors want the PSA to be .01 After surgery, A little higher is OK. You had your test plenty of weeks after. Hopefully your PSA stays down. The thing that concerns me is just adding .02 to your current PSA would make it <.1. And if that happened, it would probably not take long to become greater than .1.
It could be your next PSA goes down more. We’re all getting tested and waiting.

1 ReactionAt Mayo, anything less than .1 is called undetectable. You shouldn't get tests more sensitive than that since you can have hyper-low readings for any number of reasons. In fact women can get PSA readings that low. This is why Mayo won't check for readings down in those ranges. It just freaks everyone out for no reason.
