A less than result is always the one to hope for but I think you should have every reason to be happy with that PSA result. Zero PSA after prostatectomy should be theoretically possible but like you I have a miniscule amount PSA that seems to bounce around between 0.01 and 0.03. I am hoping my oncologist is correct and it is being produced by small remnants of healthy prostate that were left behind after surgery.

Hi Linkbekka. This thread has become my diary of my entire pca ordeal since I was first diagnosed in May 2024. You can read though it to see my entire story or view my profile which is the summed up version. 

 

In short, at diagnosis, my PSA was 12.7, Gleason 4+5 w/ cribriform. MRI noted "areas of GROSS extra prostetic extensions". Staged at T3a. I was not a happy camper.

 

I had RARP on Aug.19th 2024. Histology came back gleason 4 + 3 (yes, they downgraded me though I suspect they probably just missed the G5 that the biopsy picked up). Clear margins.

 

I'm now 2 years out and so far...PSA is undetectable.

 

As for the cribriform, I remember my surgeon telling me when I asked him about it, "I'm not worried about that. The plan is to remove it anyway.". So far...so good.

 

All the best.
