Low PSA Score with PCa Symptoms

Posted by garye @garye, Sep 16, 2022

Hi all, I am 67 with a paternal family history of advanced PCa (my father, his father and his grandfather). I have an appointment today with a urologist as my PSA score, although 2.4, has doubled in the past few months, with LUT symptoms and weight loss of 12 pounds. I am on NSAIDs, statins and blood pressure meds; my research indicates these meds can drastically lower PSA scores ("clinically significant"). Any members diagnosed with symptoms and with low PSA?

As expected, my urologist has ordered a mp-MRI to determine, in his words, the grade and Gleason score of what he believes is indeed cancer. If biopsies will be required after the mp-MRI results are studied, he said he would do that in the operating room at the hospital using general anesthesia. One concerning lab result, from a previous CBC last July, was the rise in alkaline phosphatase levels.
