I completed HT and radiotherapy for PCA in 2016 and went onto routine 6 monthly then 12 monthly PSA blood tests. PSA in January 2022 was 0.57 which increased at a steady rate to 2.07 by January 2024 - not meteoric by any means, but took me over 2.0 for referral back to hospital. I had no symptoms whatsoever.
My GP failed to pick up on this, entering "Normal - No Action Required" on my record of the blood test in January 2024. A lesson for us all to get full access to our medical records and always check they are doing their job right.
