Hi All It has been awhile since I have been on the forum. Good to see familiar names - means people are hopefully doing well. My husband is 9 years post surgery. His PCP, unknown to him, ordered a PSA test as part of his routine annual visit bloodwork. He always gets his annual PSA tests ordered by his surgeon. The test was done at Quest where we get our regular bloodwork, but where he never gets his PSA tests because of problems several years ago with reporting of a result. This week's test came back <0.04. Should we be concerned about the .04 part or does the < sign negate that concern and that is simply the lowest that machine/test is set to calibrate so it is undetectable for that test/machine? We haven't used Quest in so long for PSA, don't know what their results look like these days. Thanks.

lovif,

The < is all you need to know! Quest uses a different method than labcorp, and the lowest it can go is 0.04. I seem to remember your story--he was just before me in the OR.

I am no longer seeing a urologist regularly, my PCP is taking care of my bloodwork. Good to hear from you!
