Hello

My husband just had his telephone call

PSA--1.6

Please can you tell me what is the level when you should start to worry?

  • No expert, but that's at a level you shouldn't be worried about unless they felt anything when doing internal examination.  my PSA was 21 with a cancer outcome. All cured now 

  • Thank you

    His PSA has gone down lot since he was first told he got Prostrate

    This was his reading

    T3a N1  M1B

    PSA 91.0

  • so has he had any form of treatment 

  • He had  Chemotherapy and had Radiotherapy

    He on medication and has injections

    It never be cured but is treatable

  • sorry to hear that. I'm sure when they rang him if there was anything to worry or be concerned about they would have told him. I was lucky,  mine was diagnosed early with no outbreaks from prostate, now only need PSA checked every 6 months for 3 years then every 12 months for further 2 years 

  • thank you

    my hubby also got Parkinsons but it in early stages

    Delighted it going fine for you

  • Hello  

    That PSA is fine - you should only worry if it rises by two whole points to 3.6 or above he has 3 "small" rises in a row.

    Cary on and enjoy life.

    Best wishes - Brian.

  • Thank you so much appriciated

  • yes and no, cancer cured but I'm in process of sorting my back out, I was diagnosed with stenosis spinel nerve channel damage just before the prostate cancer was diagnosed,  but obviously was put on hold while my cancer got treatment.  saw the consultant last Thursday,  discovered its more advanced now after comparing X-rays,  so I'm now awaiting surgery in neck part of spine, must be urgent now, after seeing me he asked for more X-rays of the complete spine and they rang me next morning with MRI appointment for this Wednesday.  won't be sorry to see end of this year
