Hi everyone i had prostate cancer i 2022 had prostate removed followed by 7 weeks radiotherapy and in 2023 2024 py PSA was 0.025 non detectable but my recent PSA has shown a slight rise is now 0.071 which is still low and with in the .1 limit is this normal .

  • Hi GB and welcome 

    That is still very low so impossible to say really what's happening.

    The next couple of PSA 's are crucial and just need to not be showing an upward trend.

    All the best

  • Try not to overthink the extremely low numbers.

    A few years ago the tenth units were all you would get so your PSA would have been zero. So looking at the 0.02 is pretty much zero too. But you are looking at 0.025 which is worrying you. 
    My advice is to live a lot and worry less.

    I know it’s a serious business this PC and I know all about it but listen to me when I say relax and wait for news don’t look for bad news.

    Good luck
