Before I was diagnosed with my early, low grade, low risk prostate cancer, my urologist, following DRE assumed I had BPH and prescribed tamsulosin. However , the biopsy results has changed everything. Should I continue to take this medication? I've read contradicting reports that it may reduce PSA levels. As I'm on active surveillance, I'm concerned that the medication may give a false result on my 3 month PSA test. Has anyone got any information/experience of this? ThomasA
