,

I guess a fair question would be that with a PSA 6.5ng/ml, why would

you be considering an ultrasensitive PSA test? However, should you

ever require an ultrasensitive test, your physician could send the

blood serum sample to any LabCorp or Quest lab and those labs do not

have to be local. And just to know more about you, how many tissues

were extracted in the biopsy and of that number how many contained

cancer? Also, have you determined a treatment option (that could

possibly include Active Surveillance) or has your urologist made a

recommendation?

Hi Chuck, I had the Robot RP Jan.30 4 weeks ago. Biopsy was 2 positive

out of 12. Right side. 1 5% 1 60% cancer. Gleason 6 T2a psa was 6.5.

After RP stayed a gleason 6 but cancer was found on both lobes changed

to T2c. Positve margin was found. How do i find LabCorp or Quest Lab?

Thanks for responding Chuck. in Rochester,NY
