I had a PSA of 21 and had biopsy and was told that I had cancer Gleason score of 4::3 and placed on active surveillance yesterday I had   PSA test and my PSA has dropped from 21 down to 0.79 how can this happen

You got any symptoms? Why did you go for a test and are you sure it was 0.79?

The 0.79 sounds unlikely.  I'd have thought they'd do a retest.  With a psa of 21 I'd want to know whether it's rising.  It could be that it came down as it could have been agitated, but down to 0.79 seems odd.  Active Surveillance is about watching your psa carefully.  I'd ask about a retest.
