Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / January 2005psa after RRP
just came back from my urologist today. My first PSA after radical prostetectomy that was performed on 11/10/04 is...... .03. Feel relieved. Didn't expect it to be above .1, but you never know. Hope it just stays this low for a long, long time. My uro wants to have another psa test in 3 months. Not sure if its every 3 months for the 1st and then once per year. Hi, Mike.... Congrats on the undetectable PSA! My uro suggested every 3 months the first year.... every 6 months the second year... and now I'm at once a year... Take care! And take a deep breath! Feels good to get those results, doesn't it? MikeH :) > just came back from my urologist today. My first PSA after radical > prostetectomy that was performed on 11/10/04 is...... .03.

In the Johns Hopkins system which is my HMO, PSA testing is after three months and then annually. jimhoney standard RRP age 52, cured, no significant aftereffects > just came back from my urologist today.

I don't think the PSA test is a big deal. If Doc says get it monthly then that's what I would do as I feel he has the knowledge and training to make the decision. I don't possess that expertise. Great results! And a good doc. I think quarterly tests are so much better than semiannually during your first year or two.
