Diagnosed two years ago after physical exam by my GP after I experiences poor urine flow and incomplete bladder emptying. PSA was normal 1.4 so came as a bit of a shock, I thought I had an enlarged prostate.
Biopsy recorded prostate cancer Gleason 6. After MRI scan I was sent for trans perineal biopsy under general anaesthetic (template)
cancer upgraded to Gleason 3+4.
i am currently on active surveillance PSA every 6 months, MRI yearly.
My PSA has risen slowly over the two years and is now 2.7. I have a MRI in a few months.
compared to others in this forum I consider myself lucky the cancer was identified early.
As my PSA is not a good identifier of the cancer, being so low for my age at 75. Are yearly MRI scans frequent enough to check on progress of the cancer or am I overthinking things?
