PROSTATE CANCER..WORRIED IT MAY HAVE 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........
