Well We're waiting!!CowboyBob said:^ mo followup
Had my 6 mounth followup today and was quite surprised to learn PSA was 33! (I'll update my PSA table later, but that's a rise from 5.7 this time last year. ) Got a lot of questions asking about synmptoms of prostatitis ( which I don't have) and had a negative DRE. Urologist wants to repeat the PSA test and think about a 3T multiparametric MRI with guided biopsies if the PSA is not back down.
I had a flu like illness the week before my PSA was drawn. Can't believe such an impressive jump would be cancer. Maybe it is related to my viral illness. Anyway, looks like I may be headed for more biopsies
Hi Bob,
New to this board and going for a biopsy tomorrow.....been reading your "case" with interest...See that you last posted on May 24...with a PSA of 33....Just wanted to know how you got on.......The suspense is killing me
Regards Tony

biopsys
hello bob this is my first time on this forum. My boyfriend had his biopsies done six days ago . He is also still having some discomfort in perineum. there is
no longer blood in semen. we got the results two days later and now he has to have CAT and bone scan. Very hard times and the waiting for all the tests is very frustrating. best of luck with your biopsy results.

Sorry to here of your
Sorry to here of your boyfriends post biopsy discomfort. Given that additional imaging is being requested, I assume the biopsy was positive. Make sure to get all the information regarding the workup and research your options before making a decision. The fine people on this board can offer their experience and considerable knowledge of the disease to help you along the way.

Back to PSA=5
I admire your persistence in following your prostate health along the years. Your family PCa history requires that vigilance. I hope that 2017 brings you continuing low PSA and negative results.
Happy New Year
