Hisbands psa scores. July 2017 2.6, January 2019 4.5, March 2019 5.8, August 2019 4.1, March 2020 4.7 biopsy October 2020 CyberKnife radiation. 3 months later on January 2020 went down to 2.9 oh, June of 2021 2.5, November 2nd 2021 3.8 urologist somewhat concerned. Follow up PS a January 18th 2022 when is high as 11.8. Saw the urologist he didn't think it had anything to do with the bacterial infection he did not think it had anything to do with the sex we had the night before without thinking usually we abstain for quite a while before a PSA test. He seemed to fluff it off as neither one of those things as possible because the prostrate is dead?? Today January 31st 2022 is PS a slightly down at 9.8. Concerned, frustrated. He is going to have an MRI CAT scan and possibly if the insurance will allow a pet scan was ordered. Any feedback would greatly be appreciated. Thank you

Hopefully the scans will provide enough clarity on what’s happening and the options open to you. A rising PSA is always a worrying time.
