YANA - YOU ARE NOT ALONE NOW

PROSTATE CANCER SUPPORT SITE

 

 

This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer.
There are only four rules:

  • No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
  • 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

Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.

Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.

Re: PSA 1.01

chaz, sorry to hear you are suffering from Prostate Specific Anxiety. Please read Terry's PSA 101.

You do seem to have all the symptoms of BPH, but I'm not a doctor, so if I were you I would do what Paul A said and keep an eye on your PSA evry 3 to 6 months. IF it trends up then have a biopsy.

But at the moment if DRE reveals nothing and the PSA is constant ( and, it is a fact that 0.99 is the same as 1.01 ), give yourself some slack and enjoy this holiday.
