Blood tests - what frequency?

[Simpson80]

Generally at what frequency do most people do blood tests to check PSA, testosterone and ALP ?

One to 6 months, depending on how active your cancer is

Every 3 months you should get a PSA, CBC, CMP. T levels only when needed to ensure T is being properly suppressed.

I don’t think there’s one answer. It varies as one’s condition varies. For me, when things are stable I get a PSA test every four months and a CMP about every six months. When things are in flux and we’re trying to get to stability it varies from monthly to every 3 months.

Also, my MO has put in standing orders for me to get a PSA test whenever I want and on occasion when I have felt some anxiety I have gone in for a test. Those tests haven’t found anything significant but they have lowered my anxiety level.
