hrpufnstuf--Actually, I didn't have a PCA 3, I had an fpsa. I did mention the PSA3 test to the Urologist I saw last summer, but he said he didn't recommend it in my case. He said that given my...
Jack H-- Yes, it is true that prostatitis could be the culprit in my continuing (slightly) abnormal PSA and quite troubling free PSA readings. However, I really don't have any symptoms consistent...
BillyBob----I truly hope the doc got it all. Good luck on your continued recovery. OF course what you say is true, that the numbers only make it more or less likely that one has PCA, they are not...
drchemy--thanks for your reply. A year has passed since I wrote that post, and my PSA has continued to drop somewhat, though my free PSA remains a troubling 9. My radiologist, the one who did my MRI...
cj345---Yes, I am interested and would like the info, but I can't seem to find the way to PM you. Is there a PM button somewhere on the site? I have gone to help but could find no info on messaging....
I had rising psa from Nov, 2012 (5.1 ) to March 2013 (7 and free psa of 10%). (For detailed background see http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=35&m=2785750 )It was quite difficult...
I am back in the States. The hospital called me from Japan with my latest scores--PSA 5.03, Free PSA 10%. Though neither is anything to write home about, they are better than I have had since last...

Thank you starr15. unfortunately, I don't have an ipad. I did look up the app though, and I didn't find it. Did you perhaps mean "prostate cancer imaging lite?"...
Thank you Fauntleroy. I was in contact with the Dattoli center in April. Ginya, whom I believe is in charge of marketing there, was extremely nice and helpful. However, the hospital that he does the...
Yes, there are the cars you mention and a slew of others that have not yet made it to the U.S. I have not been to Osaka, but have been to Kyoto next door. Osaka has a really colorful reputation in...
The MRI did include the transition and anterior zone, but according to my urologist here he couldn't see what was going on there. I suppose it is for reasons that Peter enumerated. Just for...
Thanks for all the replies. For some reason, I didn't receive an email notifying me that there were replies to this post. Maybe I didn't check the correct box. Redwings57, that is some story. WHo can...
Thanks for the reply Tall Allen--I did indeed celebrate the negative finding. I have another post on this site that goes more into the details of my case so I won't repeat them all here, but since my...
I am a 64 year old male in good health, exercise regularly and eat well and in moderation. I have no history of Pca on my mother’s side, I do not know about my father’s side. The only cancer I have...
