Most of my blood work is pdf files but can go back to 2000 but
I never had my T levels tested until after my PC treatment.
Just looking at my PSA over the years you can clearly see my path to PC started about 10 years ago. My PC would have been discovered much sooner had they looked at the rate of rise rather than just the number.
I stop taking T for a month before blood work and it is slowly rising on it's own because diet and exercise and loosing 60 Lbs. I am much healthier today than 5 years ago.
I am also unfavorable intermediate risk and my doctor seems to have trouble explaining exactly what that means.
I have never seen an endocrinologist and my urologist prescribes the T. Not sure what you mean by full PSA is that like a 4K Score.
You certainly have all your medical data in good order as it would take me a while to look up all of it.
I am 67 and if I live another 10 years that is probably enough.

I am 74 and 10 more years gets me to 84 and 15 to 89 and I really don't want to wind up in a nursing home and all my friends dead like is happening already. If I was 50 it would be an entirely different story and these cancer doctors don't seem to take age into account. The only thing that made me unfavorable intermediate risk was my two 4-3 Gleason cores. My PSA was 2.9 and the number of positive cores was very low and only confined to one lesion area of my prostate. Good luck. My no longer urologist stopped prescribing my testosterone when I didn't want to do a Urolift for my large prostate, so I went to an endocrinologist, and I am so glad I did.
