PSA

Help me... I had the seed treatment 10 years ago this past January. Over the last several 6 month visits my PSA has gone from .3 to .5 to .7 to 1 Should I be scared? gebe

Hey gebe,
Above all and as hard as it is, do not panic.....you have come to a great place for information.......the members here run the full gamut of PC and its treatments. Read all the information you can here so you will be well armed and informed when you see your Doc as lawlink suggests.
