In an old thread, porg posted for the first time with this:

I had a rising PSA which went to 6.8 two years ago. Had three biopsies, the last one a saturation biopsy. Each one showed ASAP. The urologist said the chances of me having cancer were small but that the PC could have been missed. Now my PSA is 10.6. The velocity is concerning. Any thoughts on yet another biopsy? I understand that after three biopsies the chances of having PC are slim but my rising PSA is a concern.

Welcome to HW, sorry you have to be here. You should get several answers to your question shortly.

hello and welcome to hw, porg

i wouldn't assume that, as it took 3 biopsies spread over 18 month period to find my pc, and when it was found, there was a lot of cancer. the first 2 simply missed it, it was there all along.

you may need that 4th to be safe. good luck.
