Prostate cancer.worried has returned

I had a Prostatectomy in 2008 and have been having my PSA levels checked ever 6 months, and the PSA levels dropped with in weeks, and have stayed at, what i am told, a none recordable level since....Ive been having my PSA tests now for 6+ years and have just started to have the test done yearly, the first yearly one i now have just recieved the results....and cant believe the results..the PSA level have increased..and i am worried that after 6 + years im now going back to still having cancer. i am now and have been for some years been under my GP and am worried as i now may need a referral to get back to a Urology department......waiting now for letter from gp, as they are writing to the Urology department........

  • Hello ccr,

    I just wanted to welcome you to the forum. Sorry about the delay responding: your post seems to have gone down the pages as we had so many new people joining recently. You have come to the right place to talk to others who have been affected by prostate cancer. We do have many on our forum who will be along soon to talk to you and share their own PSA experience with you.

    You can also ask our nurses for advice on freephone 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

    Best wishes,

    Lucie
