Just to add to the above post about people having positive experiences not posting.
I had a PSA of 3.9 completely out of the blue on a routine health check. The second test six weeks later was 4.8.
That triggered an MRI scan which found two lesions the lickert score being 4 out of 5.
That led to a transrectal biopsy a couple of weeks ago.
I managed not to get too scared about what might come next if the results of the biopsy were bad. I did try to prepare myself for bad news because things did look quite bleak from my point of view; significantly worse than your single raised PSA result.
But I didn't dwell on how a cancer diagnosis and treatment would affect my life. There simply is no point in doing so until you have confirmation of cancer being present.
I understand you saying you are a worrier but you really are not doing yourself any favours by looking too far into the future, to things that may never happen. Your second PSA test may be below the threshold, an MRI scan may show no issues with your prostate, a biopsy may find no cancer, even if it does the cancer may be one that can be treated or even not require treatment at all.
When my letter arrived this morning with the results of my biopsy it simply said no sign of cancer had been found and that I was being discharged.
I was obviously relieved, but can you imagine how I would have felt if I had expended so much emotional energy on worrying needlessly.
Many people have advised you to try and take a step back, see what has happened and deal with it rationally. Please try to take on board what they are saying, you really do not need to torture yourself at this stage of the game. Stop looking at the nasty experiences of others and reading too much into your psa score.
There's a way to go yet before things get really stressful, so do yourself a big favour and save your energy for if things develop. But there is more of a chance that this will be nothing, really the numbers are on your side.
