Yes. I was AS for 16 months and my psa went up a bit on my annual physical. I advised my urologist office and they were somewhat dismissive in a small rise. I asked for a psa early (by 6 months) and that indicated a rise. I then asked for my MRI early (by about 6 months) and that indicated pi-rads 4. I asked for an appointment with my urologist who immediately scheduled a perineal biopsy and the results showed progression and cribriform. I am gleason 7 now and starting SBRT (5 sessions with ADT for 6 months) Be your own advocate. Waiting for anything is a waste of time.
