Hi Sang.

Welcome to the forum. 

I feel your pain because I was in a similar position at your age, and so was one of my friends.  In my case, it turned out I had cancer, but my friend didn't.

My PSA had wavered between 4 to 5 for around 2 years, and finally veered upwards to just over 6, which triggered my biopsy.  My biopsy turned out to be positive for cance; my friend's negative.  This was before the latest advances in MRI technology so neither of us had an MRI before the biopsy.

I'm afraid all you can do now is have the biopsy and sweat while you wait for the results.  If it turns out to be cancer, then it is highly likely to be curable.  You may need surgery and/or radiotherapy, but there is every reason to think you'll get through this.  

We're here if you have any questions or just need to talk.

Thanks for your reply, hopefully all ok, 

H Telemondo, I had similar situation when I was 50 which was 3 years ago. My PSA was 33 and rose to 46 and stage 3. I had the surgery and a year later I had radiotherapy . I'm fine so far thank God. You will be fine also. Just stay positive and take one day at a time. Life is a test and God gives The hardest battles to His strongest soldiers. You are not alone. Life will be ok

Thanks for your message, not even sure what the biopsy entails, hopefully all ok!

In my biopsy they just extracted someone tissue samples whilst ur asleep. I'm sure they will explain to you soon. It will be fine. 

Ok, thanks, they said they would prefer a local anaesthetic to general one, hopefully all goes well!

My prayers will be with you.

When I had my biopsy they did local with first sample so it hurts a little bit but other 11samples just a bit of pulling when taken .,i was a bit tender after but no problems nurse who took samples told me it was cancer,then i had to go to a little office and wait,a specialist came in made small talk for a while then told me sorry but it is cancer,i said I already know nurse told me, she said wait a minute please and told off nurse who did biopsy she wasn't supposed to tell me .had to wait 1/2 hour to make sure no side effects then home.

Hope things go smoothly for you.

Sorry to hear that, I do have this feeling mine is also cancerous because my dad had it, I do hope not though. How have you been since? How old was you when diagnosed? Have you had any follow up treatment? Sorry for all the questions but just trying to get my head around all this. My PSA result is high at 4.97. Too much to take in all at once, my dad had Prostate cancer for 14 years, controlled by Hormone treatment, they didn't operate on him, sadly he passed away just over a month ago but not to the cancer but respiratory failure, then ironically I got Prostate issues now, hope everyone keeping well as can be.

I'm on permanent hormone therapy since Feb 2016 ,had 6sessions of chemotherapy at beginning as my PSA was 1581 classed as uncurable two years ago classed as palative care , stage 4 prostate gone to lymph nodes spine ribs pelvis and a lung last PSA was 0.04 , it's been up and down a bit and changed treatment to help.i was 64 when diagnosed, planning my retirement . I kept working for two years ( metal fabrication and welding firm) trying to save money for the near future just incase,. then had to retire to look after my wife as she started falling over, she had sos button to call me , she was diagnosed with Altzimers and Parkinson's one day apart .

We are still going strong despite medical problems with us both

If your PSA is low it's possible either way and have treatment options if it is .

Remember I'm just a patient not medically trained . just my own experience.
