Active Surveillance

Hello and good morning,

I posted on this forum back in March as I was told I had Prostate cancer and was advised to go on Active Surveillance.

I am just curious to know if anyone else has had the same experience as me.

November 2025 PSA was 6.5

January 2026 PSA was 3.2

April 2026 PSA was 2.0

July 2026 PSA was 1.59

I've had no treatment and awaiting a meeting with my consultant.

I'm looking at this as a positive, however just curious if anybody else has had the same experience.

Thanks for taking the time to read and wish you all well.

Jay.

  • Hello Jay,

    I think you're right to look at this as positive, if your PSA drops like that with no medical intervention it could indicate a temporary issue, such as a inflammation or infection, has resolved itself.

    It will be interesting to hear what your consultant has to say. Let us know if you can.

    Made in 1956. Tested to destruction.

  • Hi Jay

    A couple of things here.

    If you have been told that it's cancer then presumably u had a biopsy and also a MRI.

    What was the Gleeson score  and what did the MRI say.

    Best wishes

  • Hi Steve,

    I had an MRI scan nothing showing, I was given the option of biopsy or just to keep an eye on my PSA levels. I chose the biopsy as I wanted to be sure either way.

    My biopsy showed I had cancer, none on the right side of 12 taken and 1 showed cancer of 13 taken from the left side .

    Gleason 3+3 and T 1

    Thanks 

    Jay

  • Ok Jay, so all looks ok really, low figures.

    they saying it's cancer with a Gleeson 3+3 but surprising that PSA going down ., quite a lot really.

    Just keep your eye on things , with a confirmed cancer u need to carry on with PSA testing and also another MRI at some stage, not sure when u had the MRI done.

    Anyway looks like nothing much to be concerned about at this stage.

    Best wishes
