Heavy Phil,
None of us wanted to be in this situation we find ourselves in as we deal with PC and are trying to find answers to our questions. I am trying to find answers relative to my situation and am thank full for input from Jeff and other thoughtful people on the question/concern I posted. You have completely killed this thread as it relates to my original question. I think everyone would appreciate the simple courtesy of staying on point in these threads as opposed to pontificating about whatever random thought is on your mind that day.

Dear stu6060, sorry for the confusion that occurs frequently here. I don’t know if you realize this but there are two ways to post here: COMMENT and REPLY.
COMMENT refers to the original subject mentioned - in this case, your rising PSA.
You will note in my post that I am REPLYING to another poster’s comments - more than one poster, in fact…..it says so at the top of the posting ( In reply to…). I was not COMMENTING on your original question since there was no need to do so; other members said everything I would have and more.
The beauty of a “forum” is that a question or topic elicits multiple responses from different members - some not at all related to the original question, but germane to the overall conversation. PSMA’s go to PSA’s which go to other health issues such as dialysis, which then go to high blood pressure. See? It’s a forum!!
Your original thread was not killed, since members can see the topic being discussed and decide to COMMENT if they feel they can contribute to the conversation.
Did you really think I randomly decided to start a conversation about HBP and dialysis on my own, merely for the sake of “pontificating”?😖 I was replying to jeff marc and stratjag’s conversation, NOT COMMENTING on your post…capeesh??

Stu, if you spend some time reading, what’s going on in this Mayo clinic forum You will find that people respond to messages with new problems, and as a result, we like to respond to those problems as well as the initial persons request for help.
@heavyphil Was just responding to other people’s issues that were posted in this thread, but don’t directly relate to what you have going on. I did the same thing more than once in this short thread. Yesterday somebody posted a brand new question with a lot of information in the middle of a 2024 question. Definitely not the right place to post it, But a lot of people try to help, even though it’s posted in a conversation that’s totally different from the original conversation.
We all still want to help with the original discussion.
