No lab error, but better news


Well, I repeated my PSA and it came back at 3.0 this time, which is a hell of a lot better than 8.5, but not nearly as low as it was a year ago. The free PSA was a marginal 22%, which translates roughly to my having a one in ten chance of having prostate cancer. That's a whole lot better than I thought it would be! I'll go back for another repeat in three months and if it's still low, chances are I just had prostatitis. If it's up again, however, I'll need a biopsy but, as some here have relayed from their own experiences, a positive result would be far from the worst thing in the world.

 

A warm thanks to everyone who wrote me or commented here. You don't know how much it means to me.

 

The interim job's going great and everything's on track for my permanent job later this year. It's nice to be working again! I don't have nearly as much time for writing, but I still hope to have Legacy done before the end of the year, and Conversations With Myself shortly after that.

Well I hope you will look into the diet and exercise solutions to keep the risk very low.

I hope the test was accurate.
