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 

  • Hi Tommy

    Have to be honest, don't think u have much to worry about at this stage , it's under 3 which is normal.

    Have u had a MRI since 2017 and what have previous PSA been

    Sorry I got your name mixed up 

  • 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

    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 psa tests were 6 month intervals

  • 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
