I don't seem to have put it on this thread, but I was rather concerned in April this year, when a PSA test randomly requested by my consultant showed an increase in my PSA from 1.0 to 1.3. Not a big rise in itself, but I've been stressing a bit wondering what the next test was going to show. I had another test last week, again requested by my consultant, this time my PSA has fallen to 0.9, which is my lowest reading ever!
The results for the six years since I finished my radiotherapy are:
2.0: Oct 19
1.4: Apr 20
1.5: Oct 20
1.5: Mar 21
1.2: Oct 21
1.3: Jan 22
1.2: Apr 22
1.0: Oct 22
1.2: Apr 23
1.2: Oct 23
1.0 Apr 24
1.0 Oct 24
1.3 Apr 25
0.9 Jul 25
So I can breathe a sigh of relief again - until next time. You'd think that after six years it might get easier waiting for test results, but it doesn't. Always sleepless nights and "what if..." between the test and the result.
