I was diagnosed with pc in 2017 since then my psa has been good but has risen to 1.95 from 1.66 I have an appointment with urology on Friday but I'm worried now .I would appreciate some response
Thank you
Thank you Steve..no I have had no scan since. My psa since OP has been 1.02 then 1.24
Then around the same mark up and down last 2 tests have been 1.46l last year then 1.65last week I contacted my gp who arranged a urology appointment for Friday this is why I am worried
Thank you
I don't understand how they know or think u have PC with those stats.
Have u ever had a MRI or biopsy?
If not what is it that makes them think it's cancer

My psa since OP has been 1.02 then 1.24
I'm not sure what you mean by "OP". Did you have a prostatectomy in 2017 or some other procedure? It would help us to help you if you could add some details to your profile.
Yes I had a MRI in September 2017 which revealed localized pc had surgery 2 weeks later and since then I have had monthly tests. It was me who raised concerns with my gp telling her I was worried about the increase from 1.46 to 1.95. Gp suggested that she could arrange an appointment with urology if that is what I wanted so I said yes my main reason for concern is why did urology arrange this appointment for so soon wouldn't they have told me over the phone if everything was ok,but I didn't speak to a urologist only the administration called to arrange the appointment
Thank you
Sorry, missed that bit about the op.
Yes it could be of concern but PSA still low.
Even if has returned u can still have Radiotherapy which should sort it out.
Let us know when u have been for the appointment
Best wishes
Steve
