what is considered a safe PSA count ?

LJF

?????? No idea what you are expounding on or the reason(s) you are attempting to enfluence us with the quasi-intellect spiel.  Do you have or have you had PCa?  As Purgatory ask, what is the purpose of your post?  This forum is based on personal experiences with Prostate Cancer and the aftermath.  And, my personal post about my PCA velocity and free PCA percent being more indicative of Prostate Cancer than the PCA count.  Everyone who reads my post understand it is my personal life story and not a medical certainty. Reading through all the posts clearly shows that there is a wide variance in detection, treatment, and results. 

Though happens very infrequently, some men do not have PCa produce PSA. My Dad had mets all over his body and the docs were still trying to find the source of it. Normal steady PSA over the years and normal DRE. The only way they new was through biopsy, but it was too late... The point? No rules with PCa. Enemy does not play by the rules.

I am 68 living in los angeles. Habe a history of PSA ranging fro 3.9 to 6.2 (latest. Free 17.2. Dre normal. Had a biopsy 10 year agonegative. Had another one 2 days ago. Waiting for results. I am thinking of radiation "cyberknife", but my uroligist says RP is preferrable, becuse of lack of a pathology, and hard to do a radiated prostetectomy. I am very confused about what course to take, in case, seeds, freezing, surgery, or radiation. My former diagnosis was an enlarged prostate, but the numbers have gone up. Can any one relate to this ? Thanks.

Thx for posting everyone. This is my first post about PC.
I am 54 yrs old and have had T injections ( Sustanon 250 ) for over 2 years now.
This was originally to overcome my slight depression that Lovan wasn't completely curing and also my flagging libido and total disinterest in most things I previously enjoyed.
Add to that my mood swings and forgetfulness and you can see why I went down this road.
I started them as per Doc's instructions one per month but then intrigued by the muscle growth from my gym visits I began to experiment.
I have been having these weekly now for about 3 months and I recently had a blood test.
Previously my PSA was 1.52 ( 10/2012 ) now it 4.20 ( 10/ 2013 )
I have been asked to have another blood test in 3 weeks which I am getting alittle nervous about after having been a few websites of PSA and Testosterone since my Doctors visit this morning.
I will now stop all T injections and wait an extra week before my blood test and take more aspirin and Crestor ( my cholesterol medication ) in order to see if my PSA goes down.

I like that there are forums like this that blokes can discuss issues that are pertinent to them in a non embarrassing but 'real life' way.

I will post again once I have been tested.

BB.

I have to wonder if low PSA might give us a false sense of security. But then again what are the alternatives. My PSA had always been below 1 and DRE never showed anything, even up until I was diagnosed with PC. I had a .1 PSA and within 18 months the PSA had risen above 4....and the rest is history. Uro believes the cancer had been growing for a couple of years and it was fairly advanced when I had surgery. So with all those low PSA numbers and clear DRE's the cancer was already there and growing and I didn't have a clue. So, how could I have caught it sooner?
