Good luck. A high PSA does not necessarily mean PC. I had my first biopsy in 2015 when my PSA was up past 7. Second biopsy was in August of this year when it went up to 11. No cancer on either test....
The waiting is always the hardest part. Seemed like forever between the time I had my biopsies and when I got the results. Hope things work out for you and your dad. Jack....
Had a fusion biopsy 8/25. Still hardly any semen. Still seeing blood, but not quite as much. Getting annoying. Hope it works out for you Gary....
So sorry to hear that. Sounds like he put up a helluva fight. Such a young guy. Jack....
Hi Tall. Actually, I do take aspirin daily. Is that what might be causing this? Was not told to stop using after the biopsy. I'll try to go a couple weeks without aspirin to see if there is a...
I had a "fusion biopsy" on 8/25. I knew I would have blood in semen after the procedure but here it is six weeks later and it's still there. Started out dark red, almost brown, now bright red. After...
Good news Kcheves. Glad everything worked out for you. Jack...
Great to hear. My biopsy on 8/25 also came back negative. The uro could not really explain why my numbers or so high (11 back in early August) and what the lesion was. I have to go back in 6 months...
Good luck Guido. A PSA at that level doesn't necessarily mean PC. My PSA was at 11. I had an MRI that showed a "suspicious lesion" so I had a "fusion biopsy." Results showed no cancer. Have to go...
JNF: Thanks for the info. I'm going to try to go down there in Oct. or Nov to make a purchase. Hopefully not too much damage done with the storm. Hope your bro in law and you are doing well. Jack...
Thanks JNF. I'll be waiting. Thanks again for the help. Jack...
Thanks JNF. I've been there for a visit. Seems real nice. Planning on going back to buy something in the next few months. Hope things work out for your brother in law and yourself....
Just got my "biopsy fusion" results, my second in two years. No cancer found, but not completely out of the woods. PSA at 11, prostate enlarged. Still have to see the uro every six moths and blood...
Gerry: Don't remember my PCP giving me my PSA numbers when they were at an average level. PSA was at 7 in 2015. They did go up after each test, except for one when it went down about .7 points. Then...
I'm no uro, but that sounds unusual to go up and down that much in such a short period of time. My PCP told me when my PSA was only 7 that a PSA can go up after spicy foods, riding a bike or after...
Good luck to you. I have a "biopsy fusion" tomorrow (have to be put under for this one. First biopsy I was awake the whole time) and have to wait a week to get the results. The waiting is the hardest...
Ocean: I'm going through the same sort of thing. Rising PSA, (tested very three months now) ,"suspicious lesion" on prostate, (found after an MRI on 8/11, not fund during a DRE in late July for some...
Thanks again all. Your kind words and well wishes mean a lot to me. Biopsy is now scheduled for 8/25. The place I go to gives me the results a week later. Like the song says "the waiting is the...
I had an DRE end of July, 2017. Somewhat enlarged prostate, no lumps but kinda firm on one side. Had an MRI last week (8/11) and it came back with a "suspicious lesion." That and a rapidly rising PSA...
I had a biopsy in July, 2015. It was uncomfortable, but not real painful. Afterwards, like Kit said, blood in semen for awhile. My ejaculations were very weak, only a couple drops. Erections were...
That's a lot to deal with all at once. Hope things work out for you. Not that everyone has been following my story which seems kinda lame compared to what you are going through, but had another blood...
Good luck my friend.!...
Thanks again for all the help and advice. I'm going to try to make an appointment with my PCP and he will probably make a referral to the urologist. I'll give updates when I know the results. Jack...
Thanks all. I'm on vacation now but will try to go to the doc. as soon as I get back. Hopefully med only can help. Not the way I wanted to spend vacation. To answer some of the questions, no blood in...
I had a biopsy about two years ago(results negative). Afterwards, there was a lot of blood in my semen. I came here for advice and was told it was normal. It went away after awhile. A few months ago...
Hi. Have you thought about joining any clubs or sororities at school? Maybe having contact with more people will help with your shyness. It would give you the opportunity to interact with others who...
My PSA level was 8.9 in November, 2016. Also have an enlarged prostate (don't know how enlarged, never got the measurements). Began taking aspirin, 2 a day almost daily. PSA level a week ago went...
Good news. Hope I get the same results on my next check up. Good to know there are success stories like yours....
Thanks all. I'm going to make an appointment with my PCP soon. Probably going to get an digital exam, blood test, and if necessary, another referral to the urologist. Don't know what all those...
My story so far. For several years I have had high PSA levels of between 7 and 8 with an enlarged prostate. My PCP referred me to a urologist and in July 2015 I had a biopsy with negative results....
Good luck, buddy. You've always been a good supportive guy to everyone. Keep us updated on progress....
Thanks all. To answer some of your questions, I am 57 1/2 years old. My regular doctor has not rule out anything. I have to take blood tests every three months to see if there is a big increase in...
I had a PSA level of between 7 and 8 for a few years. Up and down. Prostate is enlarged, but only get out of bed once after about 7 hours. Had a biopsy July, 2015 with negative results. Was having...
Had another p.s.a. check. about 7.5. Up about .1 Has a biopsy in July, 2015, no cancer found. Digital exam on Monday. Doctor said prostate is large., no lumps found. Anything I can do to get the...
I had a biopsy in July, 2015. Ejaculations were bloody at first which scared the #@% &* out of me. I was told that was normal. Now several months later, erection is weak and ejaculations are next...
I've had low, healthy blood pressure all my life. Just before my biopsy, I went for for the pre biopsy check up. Had high blood pressure then. I don't know if it was stress or just being nervous. I...
DC: Hope it comes out well. Not a pleasnat experience, but sounds like it's necessary. Keep us informed. You don't have to go through it alone. I had it done 7/2/15 and still recovering. These guys...
Thanks again for the feedback. Got real lucky. Results were negative, no cancer. Have to go back in 6 months. Prostate still kinda big. Reading up on how to keep it in under control. Good luck to...
Thanks guys, but still scares the sh@t out of me....
Had a biposy on 7/2/15. Lots of blood in the sperm..all blood. I was told there would be "some" but did not expect to see so much. No blood in the urine. Should I be concerned? Going back for the...
