No need to worry. I am almost 4 years post surgery and my PSA has fluctuated up and down from .006 to .04. All of my docs told me anything less than .1 is good. You will never see a steady 0.000, a...
Gemlin, I agree My old lab would only report <.05, however they closed and the lab for the last two years goes right down to <.01. The lab should only report down to <.1 to save everybody the worry....
So back last December(2015), my PSA was trending upwards and hit .04. (.01 to .02 to .02 to .04) I met with my surgeon, local urologist, and radiation oncologist. All 3 stated to wait until a test of...
Kelly Thanks for sharing your info. I still a little nervous because i am trending upwards, however i do feel better about waiting. My surgeon told me he has seem some patients rise to 0.2 and then...
So I got 4 different opinions on what to do with my trending upward PSA. My local urologist says wait until 0.2 for SRT My surgeon says wait until 0.4 for SRT (yes 0.4) and the oncologist and...
samster, next PSA is actually scheduled for June, since my local doc has me on the 6 month routine, because I am 2 years post surgery. However, Dr Samadi, says to retest in 3 months, which I will....
samster, My first 3 post-op were done at a different lab than my current. My docs office used to do blood work right in the office, they no longer do, so I was forced to switch. The last 5 results...

Anyone have any info if Hemp Oil is not good for prostate cancer? I have read that it has been proven to reduce cancer cell activity and also kill off cancer cells just wondering if anyone out there...
Tom, I can't say the mental stress of "what if " ever really goes away. Almost 2 years later i still get worked up when i go for my 3 month PSA test. I will say it does get easier with time and...
Tom, You case is almost the same as mine. I was diagnosed 2 years ago. with PSA at 4.5 rising to 5.8, with Gleason 6 on my bioposy. However, only 1 of 12 samples showed cancer. I was 41 years old at...
Its crazy what the stress can do to you. After I was first diagnosed at age 41, I remember sitting in my car reviewing the pathology report, thinking, how I was going to tell my wife and kids the bad...
Wilderness Those first tests were done at the lab in my docs office. Their test only went down to .02. They no longer do testing there so i was forced to switch labs, the new lab measures down to...
Just heard back from my surgeon, Dr Samadi, He stated not to worry and not be concerned. Haven't heard from my local uro. here in Rhode Island yet. I get tested every 3 months at this point and will...

Hi all, One year after surgery, I will be starting on trimix treatments for ed. Before surgery I needed 100mg Viagra, but that no longer gets the job done. I've tried the pump as well and it works...
