Your bio says you have had RT and HT. So if you still have a prostate then that is a perfectly acceptable result.


If you had had a prostatectomy then it would want further investigation.

Indeed. For comparison, my PSA has never fallen below 1.2.

This is good news Radar - I think your testosterone may be kicking back in! 👍

If you're having 6 monthly tests (which is entirely normal) you are being monitored. What additional tests do you want?

Regards,

Radar is really worried about his low testosterone and would like to have TRT but the endocrinologist & oncologist said no - consequently, they will not monitor his testosterone levels and Radar's GP won't go against the endocrinologist's advice.
