Hi Ken- I'd try not to get too worried about it. My PSA has gone from 1.5 back in 2003 to 10 as of last summer. My % free PSA ranges from 7 to 12. 3 biopsies (including a 24 core saturation) were...
Well, I can't comment on surgery at VM but I've had 2 biopsies and several appointments with Dr. Corman in the past 2 1/2 years. I don't really believe in fate but a series of events lead me to VM...
reputo, If I may ask, who was your surgeon at Virginia Mason?...
Gary- My stats are fairly similar to yours, PSA up and down, % free PSA on the low side. At my last uro appt last December, doc attributed elevated PSA to minor inflammation. Even with courses of...
Go Dash- My PSA / Free PSA test results are always reported this way: Test Name: PSA (Free and Total) Total PSA (PSA value) ng/ml Free PSA (value, normally 0.5 to 1.5 for me) ng/ml Test Name: % Free...
Wow, That is some scary stuff. Glad to hear your husband is doing better, really glad to hear the color doppler did not find PCa. I've been watching this forum to see how the doppler biopsy went for...
deb- My urologist has not said anything about a TURP. Me, if my doc suggested a TURP I'd be looking for a good color doppler ultrasound facility instead. I don't know too much about the TURP...
Hello Nodaker, Been wondering how things were going for your husband. I'm still in the same boat- 2 biopsies, both neg. Low % free PSA, 7 to 8 %. about all my urologist has been able to tell me is...
Thank you to those that replied. I'm not trying to put the cart before the horse, since I have not been diagnosed with PCA. I always hope for the best but try to prepare for the worst. Traveling...
Hello- Let me start by saying I have not been diagnosed with PCa. Hoping that will not happen, but trying to cover my bases. I live in Southeast Alaska (Ketchikan), we do not have a urologist here. I...
Hi Nodaker- Here is the link to my original post. http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=35&m=1296816 Sounds like your husband is in good hands with Dr. Myers. We don't have a...
Hi Nodaker- I'm in a somewhat similar situation, but my PSA level has not been quite as high as your husbands. I'm 48, good health. As you see from my signature below, my PSA has been from 4.8 to 5.4...
Uro did not say how enlarged my prostate was, I failed to ask specifically. Have not had any symptoms of BPH. Biopsy was transrectal w/ ultrasound....
