Had my one year follow up lab with the urologist. My PSA was 1.58 and urine test was clear with no blood or rbcs is that good?

    As someone whose psa has finally reduced from 12 to 6, I'm very envious of your 1.58!

    I suggest a PSA test every 6 months for 5 years post op. Then once a year. 1.58 is low, but best would be something in the 0.0xxx range.

    Are you saying You had PCa treatment? If so what kind? If it was EBRT, I would say that PCA score is acceptable. I had 43 fractions of EBRT and after 6 months mine PCA was about the same as yours.

      I just had blood in my urine last year. The urologist did a CT scan of my abdominal and pelvic area and cystoscopy and PSA. Said everything was normal. This is just a year follow up.
