Yes why would the King join a group for a condition he didn't have unless a partner or close relative was effected by it 🤔.

Hello all,

Well don't really know where to begin..

I know this is $hitte and all here have been there.

No size given just the whole right hand side of my prostate is a solid mass of what I have been told is 95% chance of cancer.

Is this the wrong place? where do you find out the size?

Scared? yes

Sorry, just don't know what to do

The irony being that you posted this in the section of the forum dedicated to members who have BPH or other benign prostate problems 😉

Hi Gents - I'm brand new to the site, and a total noob. Went for a Biopsy today (Ouch!!) and was told my Prostate is 150cc vrs a 40 cc normal for a guy of my age. MRI Spotted a 4mm shadowy thing. I remain hopeful in the face of Prostate Juggernaught!

You've got a whopper. But this is a genuine case of size doesn't matter.

Best of luck with the biopsy results, please keep us updated.

82cc with a PSA of 4.18

Recent MRI revealed no concerns, with a PIRADS2 assessment.

My consultant says I may need a second biopsy (first one was in Oct 2019) if December`s PSA test shows a further increase.

Hi Paul, I see you joined here in Oct 2019. Presumably, as this is your first post, your first biopsy was all clear. Anyway let me give you a warm and very belated welcome to the forum.

Your prostate is quite enlarged and that's what could be the cause of a slightly higher than normal PSA. I'm not a clinician but I don't think you've got anything untoward.

Are you getting annual PSA checks and are you on any prostate medication?

Thanks for responding Adrian56,

PSA tests every 6 months at the moment. I am not taking any medication,

I would suggest less guessing and more self education on Prostate Cancer .

Read " Dr. Patrick Walsh's 5th Edition " Guide to Surviving Prostate Cancer ."

Dr. Walsh is the world's foremost authority on prostate cancer. He is the Distinguished Professor of Urology at the Brady Institute of the John Hopkins medical institutions in Baltimore , Maryland, USA .

Regarding Prostate Volume ( size ) , T signal , TI- Rads Score and Tumor Size . These are all spelled out on your MRI Report .

I always , after an MRI Receive . A paper copy plus a CD-ROM & Memory Stick .

Always get a 3T MRI NOT the 1.5T machine .

They normally list the prostate size on your MRI report if you had one.

I’m feeling inadequate - but in a good way!

PSA 6.5 and gland volume of 16ml giving a PSA density of 0.36.

Yes, they were very specific about the MRI being 3T and told me the T is for Tesla, by the way!

I've just undergone the MRI and biopsy for suspected PCa, thankfully no sign of malignancy found.

My prostate volume was 65ml with a PSA density of 0.07, whatever that means.

The biopsy showed Acinar Atrophy and active non granulomatous inflammation, again no idea what that all means.

I'm left wondering if I need to do anything as regards PSA testing in future or if I can just forget my prostate altogether.

Urology kind of left me feeling I had wasted their time.

Mine is 26cc with PSA moving about between 5-6.

T2 N0 M0 originally with latest biopsy T1.

I remember seeing a medical programme on the BBC a couple of years ago where they had a procedure for reducing an enlarged prostate by blocking the supplying blood vessels with small plastic beads (if there isn't enough already in our food and water!).

I dont recall at what size they consider such a procedure valid, but I believe the patient had a huge one, but he didn't have PC.

so as per normal when the discussion relates to the size of men's bit I'm left feeling on the small side of the scale 😂

Prostate was reported as 35cc and tumour at 10mm

'Glands less than 50cc are considered normal, 50-80cc is midsize, and larger than 80cc is large. Interestingly, there is a positive correlation between larger glands and higher PSA values. For older men, a rise in PSA is more likely to mean BPH than PCa.'

Apparently the largest ever surgically removed prostrate was almost 700cc! It must have been like giving birth. 🙂
