Anybody getting their USPSA online and at what cost??

FPC forum members,

I have been trying to find an online provider for the ultrasensitive PSA, and at a reasonable price. I don't want to drive hours for the test...

Who are y'all using??

Hi NPfisherman,

I’ve used LabCorp that is often operating from Walgreen’s drugstore locations, but I had to drive quite a distance to get to a facility. But, frankly as I begin my sixth year post RARP and SRT after BCR with a PSA of 2.0, I no longer feel that the ultra sensitive PSA is worth the trouble. PSA is a biomarker, so it is just a reference for what is PCa activity within our circulating bodily systems. If a PCa cell has planted itself someplace and has begun replicating, a normal PSA test offer plenty of warning for most guys to pay attention and take the appropriate action.

I had six cancerous pelvic lymph nodes removed during my third treatment, salvage pelvic lymph node surgery, at PSA of 0.13.

Appreciate the answer... it makes sense for me.... By finding out earlier, I can get an appt at Cleveland Clinic with my MO, and decide the game plan. It takes about 6 weeks to get my Pylarify test, and I plan that for the time when I am above 0.5... then I have to get SBRT most likely....After I get above 0.1, then it doesn't matter, but for now... yeah... the last time, it took 6 months till I was back on meds...

Big Fish - As you already know, I use LEF Labcorp walk-in labs. Jdm3 uses Ulta Labs, but I don;t know if they offer an ultra-sensitive lab. As you also already know the ultra-lab is about $95 at LEF.

(I share the driving issue, as neither of the local Walgreens has an in-store Labcorp facility and I have to drive about 40 miles to the nearest one that does.)

I thought LEF had given up doing the USPSA....hmm... may have to look again... I have a Labcorp in town, so that is better...

Here in US easily order my own through reguestatest.com, $109, using Labcorp locations, zip code based. Apparently not all States permit this.

I'll take a look... many thanks, amigo...
