PSA test done 4/18/2016,,,,results <0.03 ng/ml
This has been the result ever since prostate removal.
I have an appointment with the doctor that did the removal (Cleveland Clinic) on 26 July,,,10 more days,,,should I wait this long? This is as soon as they can see me.
With my cancer history, I thought they would/could check for other cancers,,would this be routine? Are other cancers likely?
