What constitutes a worrying PSA level. I am 69yo and had 2 painful negative biopsies already and 3rd coming.. My health is good otherwise. PSA biopsies are awful and I don't want to have one every months. New on here

Hello mate.

Welcome to the forum.

If you've had two negative biopsies, I don't think that you've got much to worry about.

What is your current PSA level? Has there been any indication that you may have other non cancerous prostate conditions, such as an enlarged one (BPH) or prostatitis. These and other things can cause elevated PSA.

Thanks for answering, my PSA has risen from 11 to 15 in 6 months. It is beginning to worry me somewhat. My prostate is normal size so it looks like another dreadful biopsy is on the cards.
