Lenore, You might like to go along to my site where 1,000+ experiences of men with PCa are listed - http://www.yananow.org/exp_data.php?desc=All If you click on the link for PSA over 20, you'll see men with a high level of PSA on diagnosis - the top being 7,000 at present.

All the best

Thanks, Terry. I am reassured as I read of all the men who've gone before us. I have bookmarked your site for my husband to view. Terry wrote:

Yes, PSa can get this high and go much

higher. Sadly at these levels indicate an advanced stage of the disease and

your husband may be past some of the more typical forms of treatment.
