PSA of 4.1 when never previously higher than 1.0

Good question — should I be concerned. My PSA jumped from 2.1 to 4.2 in one year. My doctor told me it was okay and just above the 4.0 level. I didn’t agree with my doctor’s opinion, because it had double in one year. I found another doctor and got retested. It was 4.2 again; however, this doctor was concerned. Long story short, half my prostate had cancer and it had spread out and was found in a lump node. Ugh.
Good luck with your outcome. It’s great you’re making an assessment of your situation.

Check that out request an mri of the prostate and follow by biopsy I had the same diagnosis and found cancer I decided to remove my prostate so far so good..

I’m sorry to hear about your experience, Jerry. How are you doing? How long was it between the first and second PSA test?
