If they say your PSA is undetectable, why worry about the exact figure to umpteen decimal places? Just keep calm and carry on and cross your fingers that the next and subsequent tests are undetectable as well!

Cheers, John.

Results of fourth blood test today; had a little frisson of fear this morning, but needn't have bothered - undetectable again. Moved to 6 monthly testing, which I'm fine with.

Doc is also moving me onto Viagra. Not sure why that should work any better than Tadalfil, but will give it a try.

Latest PSA is <0.01. I've been switched to the nurse it appears, so the surgeon must have no concerns?

Latest PSA is undetectable. At two years now and they say they will only test annually. Is that normal - I was under the impression that it would still be 6 monthly this year?

Great news. I'm four years post diagnosis and moved to yearly appointments, but I can organise my own PSA six monthly if I want, and contact them if I am worried.

I wouldn't be happy with annual testing so soon, Peter - I think NICE guidance is still 6 monthly. If it is the hospital that is saying they will only offer annual testing, that seems reasonable as, in many areas of the country, your PSA tests would have been handed back to the GP by now.

Thanks Lyn

So, if I contact my GP they ought to be OK with filling in the mid-year tests, do you think?

You would hope so, wouldn't you 😔

I think ask the question and if the GP says no, go back to hospital team and say you are uncomfortable with annual testing.

Great news! I’m due to go onto annual PSA bloods subject to my next reading being undetectable in November this year (3 years post op).
