68 years old
All biopsies show no sign of cancer
Yes because of the effects of finasteride (sexy time)
I quit it for a month or so and then did the test and thats when it went up.
So that is what they are warning us about that finastride can cause your cancer to be the worse type? Or i guess give you false hope that your dropping PSA numbers means your beating it but reality its getting worse and you dont know it..with the lower PSA numbers
Glad im finding another Doc...made the appointment today 7/29

Finasteride only improved my urinary issues; I had no negative “sexy time” side-effects.

The warning about Finasteride increasing the risk of high-grade disease came out of a 2003 study.

Later detailed reviews of those 2003 findings somewhat cleared that up:
