Decent result.  MRI and bone scan at 0.2 is interesting.  No mention of psma?  I'm getting a sense of no news is good news having gone to 6 monthly blood tests without being told it was changing from 4 months.

Hi Francji1,

Jumping horses and straddling sheep. You're certainly an animal lover. 🙂

Joking apart, mate, although the PSA rise is only tiny you must be slightly disappointed. I hope this is just a small blip. As you said to be only 0.15 after all those years, is a great result. If I'm ever in a similar position, I'd still hold out until I was at least 0.2.  

Good luck 👍

Franci , a slow rise has got to be better than a fast one. I think you already know you can't take things for granted. A guy I knew thought he was in the clear more than 12 years after surgery and he wasn't being monitored. The next test he had lead to scans and found it had spread. 

During my vaccine trial I had numerous bone and CT scans that found nothing, a few months later a PSMA scan found a hot spot, that was at 1.4 and you are a long way off from that.

Thanks Chris
