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.
yes - it seems repeated over 4 and it is time to decide for biopsies.
The repeated psa may be helpful before biopsy - seems half of the psa jumps come down again. But if it doesn't go down - it is time for some real information.
Over all my trend is in one direction - which means probably a biopsy for me soon.
Thanks for the info. Not sure if I am making sense right now.
Brooke - do you know if the free psa includes the total figure? So it might come back free over 25% but total psa of 4.7 again?
By the way I went to high school with Dana Jennings - the guy who chronicled his prostate cancer surgery on the NY Times. No relation I am sure - but had to add that.
