Hi AlistairH and thank you for posting,

I am sorry to learn you needed to have a prostatectomy, and that the PSA level has risen slightly causing you concern,

Your urologist is the best person to discuss this with as they know your situation, as Eddie has mentioned, they may want to measure your PSA for a while, as it can fluctuate. They will also be able to tell you the cut-off point when they may start to think about if further tests and/or further treatment are needed.

I appreciate this is an anxious time for you, but it is about taking one step at a time, and if possible trying not to overthink things. I realise this is easier said than done.

Please feel free to get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Take care, all the best
