It's good news week, the psa roller coaster dips so at ease for 3 more months knowing it would be undetectable in Leeds.


Jan 2021 <0.05


Dec 2021 0.06 (5th anniversary)


April 2022 0.09


Aug 2022 0.07


Nov 2022 0.08


Feb 2023 0.1


May 2023 0.09


The nurse says it's in a grey area and could be benign.  Bring on hope and open a bottle.

Your numbers are not dissimilar to mine having peaked at 0.1 too.

Would be nice to know what is going on but happy to count my blessings at this stage.

👏👏👏

As you know, John's has been bouncing between <0.1 and 0.11 for about 7 years now .... it goes up and then it drops down again. Onco & uro consider that he may just be a high producer of 'healthy' PSA for other parts of his body and we roll along, happy with that. Do I think it will go up at some point - yes, I suspect so but that is to worry about if / when it happens.

Hope and a bottle is all you need!

Good news Peter2016, enjoy your bottle.I’ve had one or two since finishing my RT,
I look forward with hope to my PSA reaching that level….or at least remaining stable🤞🤞🤞 In the meantime I’m just getting m with all the other problems that life throws up!

Great news Peter. Really glad to hear your PSA is steady and really hope it stays that way.


I’m hoping the same for my husband but unlikely with how quickly it is rising. 


best wishes

Hi Elaine,


Thanks. Sometimes a sudden fast rise can be an aberration as it makes little sense.  Although if it looks like SRT is very likely it's probably better to get it going.  A psma scan might make sense if it carries on increasing. Hope it works out. Regards Peter

Cheers folks, I'm on a vow not to post after a drink.  I just did.
