How concerning is this PSA rise?

One thing they go by is the doubling rate of your PSA and your doubling rate seems to be pretty high. It’s gone up 50% in 2 months. You need to move on this, but December 28 is not bad.

Prostate Cancer is relatively slow moving for almost everyone. Don’t give into too much stress over this, If you had a metastasis, it would not be growing fast. The timing is not horrible. Yes, you want to get a biopsy soon after the MRI if it shows something.

Your problem could be BPH. That’s more easily treatable.

I forgot to mention, he did a dre and it was normal and my last prostate measurement (2016) was 60cc.

Had the mri, as you can see from my previous post. Prostate is now 90cc and is having an effect on my peeing. Very hard to get everything out of the bladder.
