First PSA results are in

Went to the Uro today and had my first post op PSA test.  I'm about 4 months out and the PSA came back at 0.04 which isn't too bad.  The Uro told me anything under 0.05 is not a cause for concern.   My next visit is in September, I hope for similiar results.  The Uro was really pushing the idea to get a pump for those other problems.
