0.04 PSA

Well after over a year of undetected my PSA has risen to 0.04. I will meet with oncology in a few weeks to discuss next steps. Perhaps a scan.

That is very low. The next step is to wait and see if it gets higher or rises rapidly. There is nothing else you should be doing at this point.

Hey Howard 👋. Was it listed as "0.04" or "<0.04"? Where I go, their equipment doesn't read anything lower so it has the < less than symbol in front of it.Bob

Kaiser oncologist only test psa down to <0.1 and consider anything less undetectable.

My husband is also at 0.04. How was your meeting with the oncologist?
