My husband had his RP 7 th December 2016 - he had his first blood test on Monday - he has to collect the blood test results and take them to the hospital where he had the op , so we will see his PSA results .

My question is should we get excited if his PSA levels are low or should we wait till he gets all the results when we attend the first app since his op next Tuesday ?

Thank you

You can feel relieved if you get a nice low PSA but best not to get excited until a) you have the full pathology next week and b) you have a solid couple of years of low PSA

Hi Lyn

PSA result is in 0.1

Thank you for your reply

Hi just to be clear was there a < symbol before the 0.1. It's just some labs do a sensitive test and others a standard test. Don't want to patronise you but just in case you don't know the < symbol means less than.
