I went through that about 15 years ago with the same diagnosis and then same test results. They gave me high speed radiation that killed the prostate but now I have more trouble because it's still there it's just has shrunk down to nothing. Looking back on it I might have been better off just having it removed. It causes me some problems now as it's harder to pass water. I can tell you don't wait too long, because if it gets any higher, than what you have right now, you're gonna have to have surgery. From what I know I wouldn't go with the little seeds that they can put in, the two that I know that were friends that had it done both got leukemia.Back in May and June I had a blood test done. I've been watching my PSA slowly increase for about 15 years.
During covid everything was shut down and so I kind of didn't think about it.
I went in for an appointment with a skin doctor and she wanted me to do a blood test before we started her treatment.
My PSA came back as 6.1 which meant I had to see my urologist. He did a biopsy. I have prostate cancer.
malignant cells were found in 3 of the 12 samples. Only 2% of the tissue had cancer. Several doctors have told me that they have never seen it caught this early.
Prostate cancer doesn't like tomatoes and I also started on Turkey Tail mushroom. I cut back on red meat and dairy.
I just got my 3 month appointment done and my PSA actually came down .40
My next appointment is in 6 months.
I increased the turkey tail mushroom one pill a day and I'm going to try to find a health fair to get my PSA tested again in a couple months. Fingers crossed
