Hi Pete...Rises of 0.75 or more in a year are said to be significant.
You are smart to follow up. A good uro would have put you on a regimen
of antibiotics and remeasured your PSA in a couple of weeks. Have you
had a DRE? That's an important step too. If your uro isn't doing
these things you might want to find a uro who will...Best wishes and
good health, ron

Hi
I was just wonder whether I ought to be concerned over my recent PSA test
that showed a rise from 2.1 to 2.7 over 12 month period.
I am 49 years old and my brother had prostate cancer last years (at 57). My
GP want to repeat the PSA test in 3 months to get another comparison.
I basically feel okay, infact other blood tests for LFT and Cholesterol were
better than a year ago.
Best wishes
Pete
