Husband started Xgeva injections last month. 10 days later had PSA drawn and it had risen slightly from 1.3 to 1.4. Not sure if there is a connection or if we are already starting to see a risie signaling resistance. Due to have another PSA done in a little over a week and having many sleepless nights. Had 2nd Xgeva injection yesterday so will be in the same time frame with drawing PSA. Anyone had something similar or have any research or info. Just trying to find a reason not to worry. You guys are awesome.

The "rise" in psa is insignificant statistically. that would be my reason not to worry. but do understand the worry. We all worry,about almost everything...most of our worries do not pan out…statistically.

I vote for a retest. Yes, it's a bit worrying to see a rise, but it could be a lab error or a number of other things - not all bad. What did the doc say about it?

Wait for the next test to confirm.

Paul's PSA have been down, up. down, up and now down again...... Docs aren't concerned until there are 3 in a row (monthly). He now at his lowest.... 0.10
