Ultra Sensetive Stress

Hello everyone. Don't post much anymore but I am always checking in on the board. Just got my 5 year PSA that came in at 0.06 still in the club which is good. My first 3 years were <0.01 last year was 0.02 and this test was 0.06. Very slow increase but the Urologist did mention the margin at the prostate bladder neck was a little bit of concern in the pathology report. So we will go back to checking PSA every 6 months. I will let you know in 6 months after my next test.

All of you are always in my prayers.

Take care,

Neal

Those results seem like more than just a temporary glitch. If you were an old guy (sorry old guys out there) maybe you could let it slide and figure something else will get you. But you are not. According to your signature you are about 50.

Are you lining up your next treatment options? There are not enough data points to run a high confidence doubling time but eyeballing it it looks like about a year. If true, your next PSA (in July 2015) will be 0.08 - 0.10 . That would not be a temporary calibration fluke.
Be thinking about your next steps so you are not in panic mode if your PSA results don't stabilize or return to their low levels.

I have been near zeros all these years as well, and figured after 5 years I am out of the woods. I guess I will continue to have my PSA done.

Good luck,
Jeff
