Hi AlistairH and welcome to the forum, I am not a nurse, to answer your question, the most likely answer is nothing, your PSA rise of 0.03 ng/ml is very small and most likely due to the slightly different ways laboratories do their testing, best wishes.

Sorry Eddie the recent psa was 0.13ng

Morning Alistair, a rise of 0.13 i still very small and maybe a one off and I would still say the labs different way of testing is the likely reason and also your PSA despite it's name, the androgen "testosterone" is also produced by the adrenal glands. My PSA, tested 3 monthly, has risen from 0.08 -0.24-0.48-1.04, was told last year and I agreed we would wait until my PSA reached 1.5 before acting on it, which is  pretty standard practice.

Eddie thanks for the advice. It is very much appreciated 

I will wait for my urologist decision a little more informed

All the best with your oncologist appointment, take care.

Thanks for the update. I am a naturally OCD individual and  mentally this has been very tough, but I guess I am not alone in felling like that. It is good to hear from someone coping with the same news
