1.5 year psa after surgery

HI All,

just a bit freaked out right now.
after my robo surgery back in Dec. of '13, all my psa follow ups have been .01 or less than .01.
Today, I got results at .02.
I know techinacally this is still undetectable, but isn't this considered a doubling in 3 month?
Any thought syou guys have would be great

Did you ask your doctor about the result?
I vote for a retest. You need to confirm that number. It's possible it's a error in the test.

If it is rising, then you need to be talking to an RO about SRT.

There are worse things.

At this point, don't panic. Healthy concern yes, but even in the worst case, you've got time to confirm and plan any future treatment.

It's likely that this is just a bump in the road and you won't have to do anything. In the past we use to think that you'd start thinking about SRT at .1 and get it done by .2, but recent studies are suggesting lower trigger points.

Waiting 1-3 months for a retest might be okay.

Hang in there and let us know what the doc says,

GC - your signature has different PSA numbers than your message.

"all my psa follow ups have been .01 or less than .01."
versus
"1/15/2014 PSA less than .1, 3/14 .05, 7/14 .05, 10/14 .02, 1/15 .01"

each casts a bit different meaning on the .02 this month.

In any case - another test a bit down the road is likely the next thing to do - though it's hard not to worry until then.

Best wishes -

Nothing to be concerned about. At the very low range, doubling rate is not a consideration I've had a number of 0.02 PSA's over the years....Tim
