I had a PSA of 1.9 for several years and fortunately had a rectal exam several months ago and found to have Gleason 7 cancer. Had a prostatectomy about a month ago. I am scheduled to have a PSA now and am hopeful it will be 0 but my main concern is that if it didn't reflect prostate CA then, will the PSA reflect metastases? Are there other more specific tests available?
