How Concerning is this?
Five years ago, I had my prostate removed, with no radiation or chemo. For the first four years, my PSAs were always < 0.1.
Last year was the first time it elevated to 0.1. It subsequently went back down to < 0.1 and it stayed that way for six months.
Then it went back to 0.1 and I now received a result of 0.2 for the first time. I am wondering if this is really concerning or not?
I have been working out since I was 15 and I am now turning 70. I do not use testosterone therapy but I do use supplements such as creatine, glutamine, EAA amino acids, as well as Lion's Mane and magnesium.
I wonder if any of these supplements might raise my PSA.

Agree on that -which is why they now include (or should) the pelvic lymph nodes as well. That was over 30% right there.

Is it really easier to kill than roaches? Why would a top regional research doctor tell me that? How often do we hear of guys with .3 reoccurrences having anything showing up on their scans. Yeah, I had a big question mark on my face when he said that. My insurance changes next month to medicare so I believe I will be free to seek opinions at NCCN facilities.

1 ReactionYes, and that is why it is also advised to PC patients to lower meat consumption.
Yeah, it’s all very confusing. In fact, the more I thought I ‘knew’ is becoming murkier by the month, depending on which ‘expert’ is holding court…
One of the problems with social media. Social media guru's need to be taken with a grain of salt. I am convinced that if we search every available social media and web site for information we will go insane. Kind of like listening to what someone says vs. what they do behind their front door.
