The title of your post caught my attention. I suffer "PSA Angst." It's like a massive depression a week before the test. Before my diagnosis, advanced metastatic prostate cancer, annual PSA's were a part of my life for twenty years. Always worrying about PSA test results more than my own prostate health. Now they're here to stay. I've lived the trauma of a 100+ascending PSA and the joy of a 1.86 dealing PSA. I've learned to live with cancer. What I struggle with is how to deal with PSA test themselves. Thanks for listening.

Same here always think about future tests just would like to eliminate them but my urologist says need to do testing for the rest of my life.
Need to accept this and live your life.

PSA actually stands for Patient Stress Anxiety!
