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 Doubling

Hard to say----it could very well be nothing! take the test again and follow the rules about no sex prior and everything else before you take it. do you have any pain? could be an infection? could be an abscess? go to your urologist and let him feel it--he's the best one to tell you.

Re: PSA Doubling

As William says, could be anything Bill. It is so important to remember that PSA is NOT PCa specific. Elevated PSA levels are caused by something other than PCa in most cases where the PSA is as low as yours is - it is different when the PSA counts are in the hundreds or thousands - then PCa is the most likely cause.

If you haven't read about my experiment with PSA levels, go along to PSA - 28 DAY EXPERIMENT and you will see how much fluctuation there can be in PSA levels.

All the best
