Now I understand, the next part of a half life is longer than the first half by more than half? Terry if you ever tire of enlightening us about prostate cancer I think you could be a comedy writer.
Thank You for all your replies about my husband's colonoscopy. We were also assured by two dr's that it was ok. He has had the colonoscopy but has not got the results yet.
As my husbands next psa nears (Nov.8) my psa anxiety again has sky rocketed.
I am sorry to ask this but here is the question anyways.
My husband is now going to a massage therapist, for what the therapist thinks is a floating rib problem. The therapist is using hand manipulation plus a vibrator on his back.
Is there any way the vibrator can raise his psa level?
Hello:
To catch you all up on my hubbies PSA it is as follows:
Mar. 2010 6.3 Free 24.9
Nov 2010 3.5 been on Avodart for the past 6 months
May 2011 1.5 still on Avodart
Oct 2011 2.3 " " "
May 2012 2.5 " " " normal DRE
Nov 2012 3.1 hubby wants off Avodart dr. agrees
May 2013 2.0 still off Avodart
May 2014 4.2 " " "
Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts what is going on now?
He is to see the urologist next week.
Thanks
Given the conventional wisdom that PSA whilst on Avodart should be doubled to provide a comparison with non-Avodart readings, it may be that nothing is going on. Another DRE should provide reassurance - if not much comfort at the time!
