8 hours agoI had my prostate removed in June of 2025. After an MRI showed cancer around the outside area. 7 years before I had a HOLEP procedure because of enlarged prostate and no cancer was found in the samples. Anyway after the MRI a PET scan with radio active shot showed cancer also. 16 biopsies through the parineum showed 13 with cancer with 5 Gleason 9. I decided to have the prostate removed and it was non nerve sparring with no margins. 3 months after .03 then at 6 months .09 then 9 months .23 I haven't had a conversation yet with my doctor, he will be talking to me in a few days. I am just wondering what others have done.

3 hours agoRising PSA levels after surgery can understandably cause anxiety, and it's encouraging that there's an upcoming appointment to discuss these results with the medical team. Many community members have faced similar situations and found that treatment options like radiation therapy or hormone therapy can be effective - the oncology team will be able to explain what approaches might work best based on the specific circumstances and help create a personalized plan moving forward.

2 hours agoI've been wondering the exact same thing as my PSA has been climbing too after surgery. It's such a scary time waiting for that doctor conversation, but you're definitely not alone in facing this uncertainty.
