I find it unusual that his PSA is 5.6, and all 12 biopsy samples were

positive.

For 12 positive samples, he must have a sizable cancer, and those

usually have higher PSA levels.

Are your numbers right?

Hi All: My first PSA was 4.2. After first biop the Gleason was 3+3

six months later the PSA was 5.2. Six months later it was 6.4

The third biop was 20% involvement with a psa of 8.4....

I have read so much that this crap has left my mine. Will

let you know Tuesday my risk factors. Scared in Alabama. Bob

P.S. The second Gleason that had an 8.4 PSA the gleason was

3+4...Whatever that means. I'am sick of trying to figure

to figure out anything anymore....Scared in Alabama, Bob
