Hello and thank you for posting.
I am sorry you are concerned about your PSA results but I am afraid I cannot say whether this is anything to worry about. Your doctor or specialist nurse is best to answer your question as they know you and your cancer.
What I can say is that the PSA can increase for reasons other than cancer. But for information more appropriate to your situation, do talk to your team.
Take care and if you want to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline the number is Freephone 0808 800 4040. The lines are open from 9 am till 5 pm, Monday to Friday.
Sarah.
