Had a bit of a scare last month - PSA test score of 6.3, triggered the NHS into action. Did a second test yesterday and the result is already in - back down to 3 which is within the normal band for my age. Very relieved as I've just been diagnosed with aortic valve disease - didn't want to be fighting on two fronts just yet...... Better safe than sorry - get tested!
I was tested last Friday; PSA is 0.01 as it has been since the prostatectomy almost two years ago. So far so good but if the PSA goes up to 0.1 radiotherapy is the next treatment.
Great news. Here in sunny Gloucestershire their computer doesn’t appear to go down as far as two decimal points.
My PSA has halved in the past six months it’s now at 0.5. I’m on active monitoring Finasteride trial without any side effects. MRI early next year, fingers crossed.
