Very High PSA: What might cause a sudden increase?

The PSA is very high. A 3+3 would be low risk though. The only caution here is that biopsies are those taken and not all of prostrate. It is why when you get radiation treatments they treat the entire prostrate as the biopsies might miss an area.
When you said every 90 days your PSA is around 5. A 5 is above normal but below 4 is normal. But the blood test you listed in your post said it was 50.4. That is quite a difference? Is this number the PSA test results also?
Do you bike ride? Are they doing a Free PSA or just PSA?

I don't bike I am a 72 year old runner but I pulled a glute muscle and have had no exercise for about 3 weeks before my test. and yes that number was the PSA test result. I am really concerned about how it could go high in 90 days with out the MRI and PET scan not showing any additional cancer. If it is still that high when I get my test result tomorrow I am going to talk to a radiologist at the Nebraska Med Center about treating it instead of watching it
