My psa went from 2 to just over 4 in 1 year. I fought with the first Dr who said it was normal for my age. Got to the 2n urologist and had a biopsy asap. Gleason score 10, highly aggressive state 3C. 45 radiation treatments 18 months of orgovyx and am now negative psa and feeling good. Keeping up my gym and exercise and diet. Stay on top of it, and good luck.

Yes, I’m anxious about the dramatic spike and pursuing a second opinion. Problem is getting a near-term appt with a new doc. I guess part of the doc’s decision is based on my long history of bph/prostatitis symptoms. But I’ve never had such an elevated reading, although the test is done only once per year, so who can know if these spikes havent happened to me periodically. I’m sorry to read that you went through all that, but glad to see that you’re doing well. May I ask how old you are and how long between your 1st and 2nd opinion on this?
