rising PSA

[Rfs1975]

My PSA started rising after 6 years of being undetectable. July 2023 , PSA 0.10 and July 2024 PSA 0.70 . I had a PSMA pet scan when my PSA hit 0.30 in November 2023 , scan did not show any cancer.

I have another PSA test scheduled for early October; my doctor wants to wait until my PSA hits 1 before doing another PSMA pet scan.

Any feedback would be appreciated

You asked for "any feedback", so here is mine:

There is 1 in a 1000 chance that you had 3 ultrasensitive PSA readings and all three of them had zero as the least significant fractional digit. Remotely likely. You either have had single decimal place PSA and you "beautify" them by adding trailing zeros, or, you had true uPSA tests upon which you are taking some rounding liberties.

Author's message: Get serious with your numbers. They will provide you with far better advice than the random user of HU.

none of the PSA numbers I have listed are ultra sensitive; we moved from Ultra sensitive once my PSA hit .1 my last reading was .7

My any feedback: I too had RP and am 67. As I share, my third treatment, salvage ePLND, done at 0.11, confirmed six cancerous pelvic lymph nodes. IMO, based on my experiences, obtain second opinions on imaging findings, consider fluciclovine and/or Choline imaging with mpMRI for comparisons, and look into liquid blood biopsy testing. I learned to not give this beast time and obscurity. All the best!
