First PSA post surgery

[Granolaberry]

Hello,

Just had my first 3 month PSA test post surgery. <0.01. Good news but need to monitor every 3 years due to intraductal component. I just want to thank everyone that has been so supportive and has given me positive feedback on this forum. I am also getting genetic testing done this week as well. I have also had a couple consults regarding the intraductal part and it is odd that Doctors have a different perspective on it. But I am staying positive. Thank you!

Do I read correctly your next usPSA test is three years?

sorry meant to say every 3 months

Pretty sure you meant to say your next PSA test is in three months. Congratulations on the <0.01.

3 Month, if its still ok 6 month for a couple of years and then every year until 10 years after surgery

Congrats! Just got mine back as 0.04. Still considered “good” but would have preferred your even lower # to help me sleep until my next one in August.

Good, in quotation marks, call for monthly PSA readings. FYI my first 6 monthly PSA readings were all 0.02 and 2.5 years post RP at 0.17 started taking Bicalutamide, as it was evident I was BCR.

My post op PSA was undetectable...but started to increase at 9 months mark. We did monthly PSA at my insistence post op....and glad I did. Never got higher than.18 before starting ADT and Radiation. Approaching my 5th year anniversary with undetectable PSA since starting ADT (18 months)....and stayed there to date.
