My PSA always ran a little high...from the high 4's up to in the 7's. Usually stayed in the 5's. My family doctor and my urologist always kept an eye on it.I had a biopsy close to 10 years ago and it was fine. That urologist retired and I started seeing a new one.
We had been watching it and toward the end of 2021 he said I may want to think about having another biopsy done in the future. I said let's go ahead and schedule it. Well it all happened pretty quick after that.
He took a total of 18 samples and the results was what I mentioned...3+3 6 gleason score. After knowing several acquaintance who had it, 1 did the radiation and 1 had it removed. The one that did the radiation always had problems.
I had the robotic radical prostatectomy procedure. It took 3 hours and I have about 20 staples in 5 holes across my belly. I have to wear a catheter for a week.
