Yes, the NHS defines it as less than 0.1

Defining undetectable is different to defining 'biochemical recurrence' (0.2 or three successive rises and/or a doubling time of less that 6 months) or defining the point at which treatment would be reintroduced after radical treatment and salvage / adjuvant treatment have all failed. In many hospitals this would be 2 but some say 10 or (in Bri's hospital) even 20!

Just a quick update. Saw surgeon in February and all was well so she said not to see her again for six months unless i had any problems. Was almost totally dry and feeling great.

Then a few weeks back I was going to the toilet 6 times a night and was so thirsty while in bed. I went to my normal doctor and it turns out i had a urine infection for which I was giving a drip and a course of antibiotic tablets to clear. After four days I had a follow up test and was told it had cleared but was told to go back to the surgeon to be checked over.

The surgeon said my flow was weak so again I had a thin catheter inserted and she told me to return the next week with another urine sample. When I picked the results up it was positive again and as my surgeon is away for a week i returned to the doctor who has put me on anther week supply of antibiotics.

To be honest I am feeling a bit ****** off as everything was going so well or so it seemed.

Has anyone had anything similar and did it clear up?
