PSA laparoscopic prostate cancer surgery

[keblickas]

It's been 1 month since my laparoscopic prostate cancer surgery. And I checked my PSA, the result was 0.081ng/ml. Is that scary? How are you, men?

What was your PSA before surgery?

PSA before surgery 17,34

PSA has a half life of 2,5 to 3,5 days. If we take the max of 3,5 days it will decay to 1/4 per week. One month, say 4 weeks, it decays to 17,34/256 = 0.068, not far from where you are. My guess is that it will decline further. Check again in a month.
