2nd PSA test back - undetectable (<.01)!

Got my testosterone checked also, both total and free are within the reference range, though at the lower end of it:

• total testosterone 311 ng/dL; reference = 250 - 1100
• free testosterone 47 pg/mL; reference = 35 - 155

Planning to see my sports medicine doctor to talk about the testosterone, but otherwise, pretty satisfied at this point!
