My urologist is testing me at approximately every 3 months, got the second PSA result back at < .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!
