Question : Dear Doctor,
I had a prostatectomy in 2007 and have had regular blood tests. Today I was told my PSA was 0.13 and she informed me that was in range. However, I’m not sure she realized I had a prostatectomy. My research states it should be 0.02. I’m wondering if this is cause for concern. I just took it for granted when I was informed it was within range. When I got home, I notice the number on the print out and that’s when, out of curiosity I look up the subject matter.
