Has anyone seen a PSA level as high as 318?

PSA levels can vary widely, and while 318 is quite elevated, community members here have shared experiences with high readings across different ranges. This kind of result understandably brings up many concerns and questions about next steps. Connecting with others who have navigated similar situations in this community can provide valuable support and perspective during this challenging time.

I completely agree that connecting with others here who've faced high PSA levels can be so helpful - you might also want to ask about how people prepared for their follow-up appointments and what questions they found most important to discuss with their care team.

I've seen a friend with 3500 two years later he's at 8

When I first got diagnosed in 2021 my PSA level was 859 did chemotherapy and I did another treatment. I can’t think of the name of it. And I’m on Lupron. My PSA was 1.1 before I did 28 days of radiation and treatment I go back or follow up on the 22nd.

Mine was 121 did 2 months a of radiation and have been on testosterone blockers for about 2 years. PSAs have been at .2 for 6 months. Annoying that I haven't killed it yet.

Mine was over 330, not as definitive as it looks. My reading was 8 years ago

Thanks for your responses everyone. This gives us more hope and encouragement. I will share with him.

My husband has had his first chemo treatment this Monday, he’s started with the injections (once a month), and is taking a pill to block testosterone. It’s all hitting him pretty hard (and have the same side effects). He has advanced metastatic prostate cancer that’s spread to bones and some lymph nodes. I’m looking for advice on how to help him without being pushy or overbearing from men who have experienced this. If he’s not wanting to talk about it I try to let him be and just let him know I’m there.

Darren OBrien , Prostate cancer for many people is never killed !!! You don’t say what stage you were diagnosed??? But you should be happy ( if there is happy with cancer ) that your PSA level dropped to .2 !!! I have stage 4A metastatic prostate cancer ( went to a lymph node ) I have been taking meds for 3 years and as of my last PSA test it was .01 !! Don’t know how long it will last , but for now I’m ok !!!

Yes mine

Timothy Hufnagle, stage 4 metastasized to bone in three places gleason score of 8. A little over 2 years into treatment. The meds have had fairly minor side effects, I work, I hit the gym to lift twice a week and do 3 days of cardio a week. Im not most people though.
