The trending data was in that screwed up table. Here is my trending data for PSA total, Free, and % Free from my hospital database, if I can successfully post it as an attachment.

Did I have BPH? I can only say, two docs in recent years have said: "You have a very large prostate". I had some symptoms as well.

Then, when it came to the radiation of my prostate, they determined that my "large prostate" was pressed up against my colon, so they successfully separated the two by inserting a gel ,.... hydrogel I believe. The pictures were dramatic. I have had zero colorectal symptoms from the procedure. I credit the gel.

I should have added. The sudden down turn in PSA etc reflects samples taken two months after starting Lupron prior to radiation treatment. Testosterone dropped to undetectable in that same time.

Just got results from 8/15/23 psa free test.

psa total 4.33
psa free 1.30
% free 30

upcoming visit with pc urologist this month.
