was your PSA always up at the 15 level as in for years? In my own case, my PSA jumped from 2 to 8.5 and I figured my Gleason 6 was getting worse. The Mayo Clinic doctors said no, that jump was too big in one year and that it was probably prostatitis. They put me on antibiotics and retested me two months later and I was back down to under 2. So your jump could have been something like that unless you were always up at that level.. I will say a prayer all goes well for you.

@bobgolf

Are you saying your PSA jumped from 2 to 8.5 in a one year period? How long ago was your Gleason 6 cancer diagnosed? Were you on active surveillance at the time? Other than the jump in PSA, were you experiencing any symptoms from the suspected Prostatitis? Did they run any tests (e.g., urine) to look for infection, or just automatically go to the antibiotic regimen?

Thank you for any insight you can provide.
