    Just saw your post

    Dear Iceman,

      Please ask your urologist about you getting a 4K test before doing a prostate biopsy. It is a fairly new blood test that is said to be extremely accurate (more so than a biopsy) for detecting prostate cancer.

      Good luck with all to follow and major congrats on the NED!!

    Thanks

    Had the 4K instead of a biopsy 2  years ago. Low risk per 4K but PSA keeps climbing.

    4K score test for Prostate cancer

    Dear Iceman-There is an incredibly accurate new blood test for aggressive cancer. It is called the 4K test -that can help avoid a biopsy. Also an MRI is another indicator if its just an enlarged prostate causing the elevation. Two specialists told my hubby not to even get the PSA taken as it causes undue worry, and that it goes up and down for many reasons (including constipation, having sex not too long before the test, etc).
      Avoid having a biopsy if at all possible because it can cause a slew of possible problems-check it out on the net. And if you do ask your dr. for an antibiotic a few weeks in advance.

    Hope this info helps..
