How low should my PSA level go?

my last PSA after my radiotherapy treatment was 0.01

Hello Agent99 

So the Hormone Therapy puts the cancer to sleep. The Radiotherapy kills off the cancer cells - job done.

As both keep working long after being administered your expected nadir or lowest PSA should be 18 months after your radiotherapy. 

The general rule is once you have reached your nadir no further action should be required unless you have 2 PSA tests in a row showing a rise or a rise of 2 whole points.

We are all different and all have a different nadir (mine was 0.29 and that was after 3 years HT!). It's not something you can generalise as humans we are not all the same!

I hope that helps.

Best wishes - Brian.

Good question but the trend is a better answer.

Going down or stable is everyone’s hope.

Stay positive as yours is going down.

And good luck with more good news. Bravo

Hi Agent

I am assuming HT finished some months ago.

As long as the PSA doesn't start an upward trend then everything ok.

The first year at least a bit nerve-wracking cos u do keep wondering if PSA is ok.

But of course your PSA level at the moment is great, don't worry if it moves up slightly, hopefully you are getting regular PSA tests

Good luck

Steve
