I had radiotherapy a year last February I had one PSA test a few weeks later and that was fine but that's it have not heard nothing off anyone since that's over a year ago is this normal procedure thank you
It does vary from place to place. For example, my GP has always arranged my PSA tests, and I get the result of one when they take blood for the next one. I had mine 3-monthly for four years, then went to 6-monthly - I think many people go 6-monthly rather quicker than that.

Heinous
If I can't beat this, I'm going for the draw.
Meanwhile, my priority is to live while I have the option.
You don't say what your PSA was a few weeks after but it's important to get another reading to check that it's not on the rise, hopefully it's still going down.
you should have had something from urology dept, you need to contact them, take notes of who you talk to, if they won’t say anything then be a pest keep ringing, get hold of your doctor to do the same, cancer departments are working so there’s no reason for them not to answer you.
Initially my bloods were taken every three months. Now it's every six months. A nurse at my local GP practice does them. A week later I go in and ask the receptionist for the result. I was released a year ago by the Croaker that did the da Vinci and told not to bother him until my psa got to 0.2.
