Re: psa Test

Don't worry, this is just within the norm for your age. PSA is a very poor
indicator of prostate cancer,it could be BPH or prostalitis or just that
your PSA bounces.You can reduce your PSA by cutting out, at stage 1 red
meat, stage 2 all meat,stage 3 go vegan. I have prostate cancer diagnosed
after 5 years of tests,I'm now 60. Tests started because of flow problems
and it took a saturation biopsy under a general to find it. My PSA was at
its highest 42 ,average 32 over 5 years reduced to 10 to11 after going
vegan. PSA is an excellent indicator of movement once a cancer has been
detected, less activity the better. It seems common ground that 2 or 3 in 10
men over 40 have PC in some stage or another but it won't be detected and
the vast majority will die of other causes.Radical surgery (and it is
radical!) only gives a 2% increase in suvival rates so avoid "cut happy"
doctors. Repeat don't worry its probably nothing, something else,or so
early in what is a discreet very slow growing condition as not to be worth
doing anything about except monitoring for years to come. My Drs are quite
confident I will die of old age at normal span without PC being an issue (if
they are wrong I'll sue post mortem.)

I am 46 in July. I had a PSA test in about 11/04 PSA was 2.5.

Then had another in 12/05 PSA was 2.7.

I just had another this month it was 3.2. My research suggest it could be
a
problem at my age but seems borderline it terms of numbers. I had a
grandfather who had prostate cancer and died I believe when he was about
60.

Thoughts suggestions?
