PSA of 4.1 when never previously higher than 1.0

A lot of GPs tend to have a pretty casual outlook on spiking PSA results. Mine listened to me when mine went from .8 to 3.1 in a year. I asked for an urology referral and got one right away. The urologist asked about family history which included a brother and father with prostate cancer. He moved me right into a biopsy which confirmed a stage 2 diagnosis.
If it’s only 7 or 8 weeks between PSA tests you should be fine. The speed with which you got things going is to be commended. Good luck.

Thanks, Sarmajor. I’m sorry to hear that your spike turned out to be cancer. I hope everything is turning out ok for you. I’m worried, but trying to be hopeful.
