Good morning 

I had my 6 monthly PSA test on Monday this week and got my result yesterday on my NHS app. It had increased slightly from 0.21 to 0.24. I know that this is not a significant increase but should I be concerned?

  • Hello Les ( 

    Nothing to see there - it's a tiny increase and so long as it stays below 2 ( as in the whole number) you will be fine.

    Enjoy the next worry free 6 months.

    Best wishes - Brian.

  • On my first post Radiotherapy PSA test for some reason that I can’t remember the Nurse took blood from each arm (2 tests). When I got the results the Oncologist told me with a laugh that one arm gave 1.7 the other gave 1.9 reading from the same lab. I never found which arm gave the better reading for future tests!!
