No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making

THat could certainly make a difference, Tony. This kind of infection is notoriously difficult to clear up and even if there are no obvious signs, the disease may well be pushing up the PSA.
Suggest you discuss this with your urologist and look for treatment for this before making any decision on PCa treatment.
Just had a psa test and it was 12, down from 13 so I have decided on active survalance, take psa test every 3 months and if it raises too high then i will treat. I believe if I had,nt checked the problem would not have arose till I was ancient as it is its caused me untold stress and loads a money. Thanks for your kind help.
