March 3, 2021 – PSA Exame, find out PSA 8.2 ng/dL
Start Vegan/organic diet plus daily aerobics.
(Ate very little carbs. Avoided all sweet fruits
March 13, 2021 – PSA Result: 5,2 ng/dL.
In America:
December 23rd, 2021 - 5.6 ng/dL
April 29, 2022 – 5.71 ng/dL
Stop exercises
July 27th, 2022 - 6.82 ng/dL
Started Exercises:
September 27th, 2022 6.72 ng/dL
October 28th, 2022 7.45 ng/dL
November 2nd, 2022 8.1 ng/dL

=======================================
How can it be possible to jump from 7.45 to 8.1 in on week??
I am having a biopsy soon.

I am thinking to start a fasting diet. Would someone have some suggestion in what should I do lower my PSA?
Have you already fasting with good results? If yes, for how long?

My weight drop to 136 lbs. (5.7 Height)

My wife is concern that I am too skinny for this type of diet.

Thank you all

You MUST have the biopsy without delay, sir!

Wishing you good luck.

Hello John.

It is good to have negative observations. However, cancer can only determined by a biopsy so it is that time now.

If you do have cancer, making your PSA go down by external means does not mean that cancer is going away so don't worry about your diet too much until after your biopsy results are in. Then you can live as healthy as you want. Your weight could be 150 lbs and still be consider fine for your height so your wife might be right that you are on the thin side. Fruits and nuts are good for you also, balanced diet is good.

A slow steady rise is indicative of prostate cancer. Variations can be caused by various factors. Getting a biopsy is recommended to rule out PC, plus early treatment can mean a better success rate for a cure. Once those little *******s escape it gets a whole lot more complicated. I put off the biopsy for a year thinking diet exercise and saw palmetto would lower my PSA. It was really denial and not wanting to “go there”

I realize that my diet helped in the beginning. Not anymore. I have not touched any processed food, only organic and natural.
Biopsy is on the way.
Thanks Mumbo for your advise.

John, the jump in PSA from 7.45 TO 8.2 in basically a few days...

Same lab? If you used a different lab the second time, that would explain it.

Pratoman, was the same Lab. the 7.41 was done 7.10am and the 8.1 at 12:30pm.

As said the biopsy is important.
Even before my PCA I'd always have a high PSA from 4 to even 7.4
My prostate is very large number one and I used to be prone to infection. A month of antibiotics knocked out the constant infection but eventually I had the biopsy.
After SBRT I'm trending down and am at 1.47
Please let us know how it goes.
