My PSA jumped from 4 to 7.1 and my MRI was negative. My urologist had me take a free PSA blood test that showed up to a 50% chance of PC. He also explained that some men have clean MRIs but still have dangerous PC in their gland.

So we did a transrectal biopsy which revealed two PC cores - one Gleeson 3+4 and the other intermediate 4+3. Went ahead with IMRT + one HDR boost procedure + 6 months ADT. I am now 6 months post treatment and feeling almost back to 100%. Next PSA is early January...hoping my 0.04 level stays low
