I had my prostrate removed in July and my first psa check came back at 0.53 way higher than the 0.01 that is normally expected. My original Psa was 26 so I guess maybe it will just take time to drop. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome

You say “way higher” but really it’s a fabulous drop in PSA.

Please don’t panic, it’s nothing to worry about. We are all different bodies and all have different reactions to treatments. But it’s gone down to less than 1.0 and I really think you should be very happy.

Hello Herdie. How long after your prostatectomy was your PSA taken? Since your pre prostatectomy PSA was 26, you probably just have some risidual benign tissue left over. I had that happen to me. My second PSA was .04. Good luck to you!!

Hello. I am a 62 year old and was diagnosed with Gleason 7 (3+4) prostate cancer last year (3-2024). I had a radical prostatectomy 10-2024. Pathology report showed 1 small positive margin with Cribriform architecture. No EPE or SV involvement.
