Hi Schoolpsych! I'm in Cleveland here too! I'm sorry, I should have clarified.....the painful procedure I was speaking of was my Rezum procedure. Strangely enough I never experience much more than a...
Just to clarify. My last PSA was done a week before the Rezum procedure.The highest PSA was drawn during a regular series of blood tests in 2016 that I didn’t realize would include a PSA test so I...
It's really not that I'm worried as much as I am frustrated. I'm fine with an AS approach as long as I think we are actually surveilling something. Not only has he stated that he won't do another...
Thanks so much for your input guys. I am going to call for a second opinion this afternoon. I was trusting this uro until this last procedure and I was not happy with his lack of knowledge. I...

Thanks for the advice, everyone. It's 5:30 here and no phone call from the doctor so I guess it'll be tomorrow. I really wish they wouldn't say things like "I'll call you tomorrow!" when they mean,...
Thank you, David. I really like my urologist a lot and find him very easy to talk to. Hopefully after my doctor talks to him I'll get some kind of answers. Your opinion is very helpful to me! Thank...
I had a twelve core biopsy in January of 2012. Yes, the PSA was before cipro....
Thanks, Steve. Yes! I thought so too and apparently so did my primary care doc who seemed baffled. Truthfully if it wasn't for that 1.9 (which was taken at a different lab than all of the others) I...
Hello again! I know you don't remember me but I posted here earlier this year and the end result was that I thought everything had resolved itself. I'll past most of my earlier post here so you can...
I'm not certain what the purpose was for charging me for my records except perhaps it was because it was me who was requesting them. After my appointment with the new Uro I signed another release and...
Hello All.....just got the results from my PSA and free PSA tests today. My PSA was 3.0 which the doctor said was "good" and a free PSA was 13% which he said was "favorable". He's going to re-test in...
Thanks everyone....yes I agree with all of you. As a matter of fact when they called to get my credit card number to charge me for the records ($14.50) I asked that they send a copy of the records to...
I posted here about a month ago asking for help. 45 Years old. 12/11 PSA 2.6; 04/12 PSA 2.8; 12/12 PSA 4.46. I had a prostate biopsy one year ago which showed no cancer but my PSA was rising to the...
Just got an appointment with my new urologist for January 4th! Thank you all for your support and suggestions. You are awesome! I'll keep you all posted.Todd...
Thank you all for your help. On the hunt now for a new urologist! Looking back on it he really was horrible throughout this ordeal. Luckily I have friends who can give me good referrals. I'll keep...
I was actually on a course of antibiotics this fall because of an infection related to poison ivy. That was before the 4.76 reading last week....
Thanks everyone. Your information has been very helpful. I've not been terribly thrilled with this urologist from the beginning actually. I started with the head of the practice who did my biopsy and...
Thank you for the replies. I don't think it's an infection since I had the Biopsy in January and had the 2.8 since then. He did put me on cipro after the biopsy. I have had two negative DREs the...
Hello! I have had an interesting experience over the past year and have been lurking on the forum to educate myself as I've been going through testing on my prostate. This forum has been very helpful...
