Re: PSA 12.5

Thanks Fred. I will do that.

Re: PSA 12.5

Hockey your primary doctor's advice is very sensible and a urological consultation would be in your best interests. Hopefully prostatistis will be the culprit, but the dramatic PSA rise need's to investigated.

Fred's comments re HRT and PCa does reflect a changing medical view on causative factors re PCa. But having said that, we all know that androgen deprivation is very effective in treating diagnosed high grade gleason adenocarcinomas of the prostate. I can also recall several yana members from many years ago who chose to use testosterone after receiving treatment for PCa. One had a low grade tumour and the other high. Sadly both experienced aggressive recurrence.

Do come back and tell us the outcome.

best wishes,
john

Re: PSA 12.5

I find your jump in PSA too alarming to waste time messing with antibiotics. I think you need to get another PSA, and if it confirms the rise, get a biopsy ASAP.

Re: PSA 12.5

I will do that. I have an appointment with the Urologist Wednesday.
