I had 2 PSA tests given by Kaiser 10.9 and 11: What test is next?

Hmmmm...
I have Kaiser and although I was referred to an out-of-plan provider, (no Kaiser urologists in the Coachella Valley), there was no problem with scheduling an MRI, MRI-guided biopsy, and PetScan all before starting ADT .
My PSA had gone to 14.6 before any of this started, and is now .02.
I am in my 9th month of treatment with Lupron D injections every three months, with the cancer localized in the prostate itself.
Good thoughts!

Hi , thanks for the input , I have a couple of questions if you have the time ..... did Kaiser require a biopsy before or after you scheduled the MRI ? I'm in Orange County maybe they are different in their protocol - when you went to the out of plan provider did you have to pay out of pocket ? If so what did the MRI and Pathology fees add up to ? Thanks in advance for the info
