I had my prostate removed ust before Christmas.
I was Gleeson 3+4.
All good, cancer hadn't reached the surface all seemed fine.
6 week PSA check was 0.8!
Nurse said it might be a blip so being retested in 3 week, but I can't see how there could be anything left. So am confused since I'm not convinced about the blip explanation.
Thinking that I'll need radiotherapy and possibly hormone treatment.
Bit gutted since it's all go smoothly since my diagnosis in 2016.
Sorry to hear your psa is creeping up. I had my prostectomy and psa started to go up. When it got to 0.004 my oncologist started me on 2 months radiotherapy followed by 2 years of monthly hormones injection . It’s coming to an end and will have my psa tested in three months time .
good luck with your treatment, I hope your psa settles down
