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.
Tony, your PSA has been slowly moving up over the last 10 years. If you had aggressive disease you would already be dead. The worst that will happen is you will need treatment(s). I've had them and for me the worry was worse than the treatments.
Hi Frank, Believe me I want to believe that....My history of PSA was
Feb/06 1.2
Then a large gap until I presented myself at docs with my increasing urinary frequency
April/14 3.1
August/14 3.1
April/15 3.1
June/16 7.5
It's that rapid rise in just over a year that's blowing my mind.....But I have decided to book myself in to a chiropractor to find the cause of the back ache (hopefully muscular) and then that may take some of the anxiety away
Thanks again for talking me off of the ledge & happy 4th July
