Would appreciate feedback in uptick of my PSA score

[Guest guest]

Here is my 

" CV "

DIAGNOSED AUGUST 2007 AND THESE TESTS AND RESULTS ENSUED:

Age-59

PSA 3.17 as of August, 2007

PSA had doubled in 22 months (in retrospect, my Internist now says that I

probably had

localized prostatitis which raised my PSA level).  Nevertheless I do have

Prostate Cancer.

Clinical Stage-T1c 

Gleason score 6 (3+3)

Bone Scan-Negative

CAT Scan-Negative

DRE-Negative

Strategy-Active Surveillance, PSA every 3 months.

Had PSA test on January 9, 2008, PSA test result was 2.13

Had PSA test on April 9, 2008, PSA test result was 2.33

Had PSA test on July  8, 2008, PSA test result was 2.55

Had PSA test on October 15, 2008 PSA test result was 2.95

I realize that 2.95 is well within the " normal " range but the upward tick since

January has

got me worried.

Any comments?

Thanks,

Sy
