3rd PSA test after RP (9 months)

[Paulo1968]

I jave just received the results of my 3rd PSA test after surgery. It came at 0.01.

I searched for a more sensitive machine and a new lab read that mark of 0.01 which is the lowest level anyway as the other 2 tests but those first 2 tests could read till 0.04 only.

Shall I celebrate tonight ?

Paulo

PS - I wish you all a Happy New Year

Hello Paulo, that is great news. I am now 18 months post surgery and also less than 0,001. I should say: celebrate that fact! Boa noite.

[Paulo1968 in reply to Dionysos]

Boa noite Dionysos and wish you for 2019 and beyond your levels remain that low.

so far, so good!

Yep

Sounds really good to me. I had RP 18 months ago and since then my PSA has gone from 0.01 to 0.04. I have had no treatment except for the RP. My DR ordered a pelvic MRI last month which came back clean and told me to have the PSA done every six months, and return if it hits .1.

[Paulo1968 in reply to SpenceNYC]

That is good news too, right? If you have your checks extended in time it is definitely good 😊

Great news Paulo!

I go in for my 3rd test on Tuesday. My last two were good and I feel fairly confident that the news will be good once more!

Thank you and how are you doing?

A great and healthy year to you.

Absolutely celebrate! I also remain at 0.01 after 1 yr. post-surgery. This motivates me to stay positive and embrace a healthy lifestyle, May it be a good New Year for all of us.

[Paulo1968 in reply to PSV60]

A great healthy year to you too, above all things.

Hey Paulo, I'm portuguese too. Had surgery on August at Hospital da Luz and I need to get my first post surgery PSA. Would you let me know the lab that can read the mark of < 0,01? My urologist said till 0,2 it's ok, but I want toknow the real mark. Thanks in advance.

[Paulo1968 in reply to calexviana]

Hi Calexviana, good to hear from you 😊. I also had surgery at hospital da luz in Lisbon but 2,5 years ago. Maybe the same doctor performed the operation on us.

The lowest level for the PSA test I found 2 years ago was in Joaquim Chaves, which starts at 0.01 only though. However they say they can read much lower levels, but only state the minimum 0.01. Since then I never changed lab. There is one in Colombo shopping center.

Let us know your situation and surgery reports. Wish you good recovery 😊.

Take care, Paulo

[calexviana]

Thanks Paulo. Doesn't Hospital da Luz lab do the same reading?

I live in the Algarve and I've found in the internet a few Dr Joaquim Chaves labs. I assume they can read 0,01 as well. Maybe I won't need to travel to lisbon for a blood test.

Keep in touch. Take care.

[Paulo1968 in reply to calexviana]

Hi again,

At the time the hospital showed up only 0.04. 2 years later I don't know.

Ciao
