My husband got his PSA results which were done 2 weeks after radical prostatectomy.. His results are .12 Does anyone have any input into this.Does it mean he still has cancer...

Usually they wait at least 2 months before checking, 2 weeks is really too soon for all the PSA to leave the blood stream. Over all anything less than .2 is good.
