Hi All,

Good to read all of the stories here. Currently waiting on my biopsy results. Recorded a PSA of 3.5 then 4 and then 5. MRI showing up a PIRADS Lesion 3.

The consultant seems to think it's nothing to worry about. Just waiting on the results! Anxious!

Hello mate.

I'm sorry that your prostate concerns have led you here, but welcome to the forum.

At 45 years old, you're younger than most of us old codgers and you're bound to be anxious. Is there any suggestion that your rise in PSA could be caused by any other prostate problems? Your Pi-Rads 3 score means they are unsure of any anomalies found, that coupled with the gradual PSA rise, is why they are doing a biopsy. The biopsy results will give a much clearer picture of your condition.

I'm sure most on here would agree, the initial investigative procedures and waiting for results, are the most worrying time. All I can advise is take one step at at a time and don't get ahead of yourself.

Please keep us updated, they'll always be someone here to help and support you.

Good luck mate. 👍

Thanks Adrian and good to meet you!

The doctor seems to think that with my age, history etc, it will all be fine. But he suggested the biopsy as a way to know definitely why PSA was rising.

Like you said, it's just the waiting time. But glad I found this forum and will keep this thread updated with my experience.

Hi mate, sorry to hear you are going through this.

I was diagnosed last year at 46 and had a Prostatectomy in September. I found the waiting and investigations really challenging mentally, it actually got easier once I knew what I was facing and had a treatment plan, which is something I’ve read others feel to.

With your PSA and PI-Rads even if you get bad news every chance you will have multiple options for treatment and a good outcome.
