I am writing to share my story and see if anyone has had any kind of similar experience...I know hard and fast answers are virtually impossible. I am in a place where my PSA is up and down to the extreme. My history:
8/2016 2.1
3/2018 1.5
2/2019 4.6
3/2019 3.8 4K SCORE of 7 (quite low I suppose)
4/19 2.2
6/19 5.9, then a day later for re-check at 4.2, then had a 3T Multiparamentric MRI and got the lowest score possible PIRADS 1
9/2019 1.6
12/2019 2.08
and yesterday... yowza! 13.17 My urologist was shocked as he still maintains cancer doesn't "behave" like this, but he is nonetheless concerned that something might still be up.
Maybe I should have just stopped at the negative MRI and the low 4K and waited a full year or more for a retest. I'm in good health, no complaints, no symptoms of anything. all urinalyses have been negative as well. BTW I am 56yo
Any reactions?
Signed, not quite sleepless thanks to pharmaceuticals in NYC

I'm confused, possibly you are posting on the wrong forum? Have you been diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer?There is another forum called "prostate cancer network" where there are people who do not have advanced prostate cancer. You may get more relevant input there.
