T3b... Bone and abdominal scans clear

Do I understand this correctly? At surgery your PSA was about 12, and at eight days post-surgery your Uro ordered a PSA, which was about 4? That's barely enough time for three half-lives. How has the...

Results from Follow-Up PSA Test

I doubt he would try to talk to you into a biopsy. It may be good idea to have your annual PSA/DRE with urologist rather than a PCP. A urologist would almost certainly be more skilled at detecting...
