Sorry I was short on the phone yesterday. I apologize. I go in next Wednesday for my biopsy. Pa levels are 5.2 and they should be 4.0 so I might have Prostrate Cancer.

Coming your way, Brother.
Thoughts and prayers Ship!
... and you might not. The PSA is just a marker and not a perfect one. So, don't worry. Even if you do have PC, it's very treatable if detected early.Quote:

Prayers are indeed going up for you and your continuing good health. I know how it feels to get unexpected news like what you're talking about. It was on Tuesday of last week that I went in for my labs... the next morning I had two phone calls (one from a nurse and one from a doctor) warning me that my creatinine levels were almost 5 times what they should be normally... (indicating possible kidney failure) and that I should go to the local Emergency Room ASAP.
:yikes :yikes :yikes :yikes :yikes :yikes :yikes
I dropped everything I was doing and went to the ER... and after all day waiting and drawing new labs... and just before being hospitalized... it turned out the VA must have misread something or mixed my test results up with someone else's. I learned, however, that my creatinine levels were perfectly normal... so it was all good. I wish you the best of luck and continue to have faith that all will be well with you Mike.

Praying for you sir....Although bumps in the road are never pleasant, He uses them to draw us closer to Himself. I know you are a man of faith, just remember, nothing catches Him by surprise.

On the way Ship.
That would be terrifying to hear. Last time I was told to get to the ER fast was when I was a teacher and my appendix burst on the stairwell. I was more scared then I believe then when I had my stroke many years later Wayne.Quote:

Prayers sent. God has blessed you and will continue blessing you Ship. Stay strong and He will see you through.
Prayers sent, Ship. The biopsy is not that bad, even though it sounds like it. I had a PSA that started at about 6. I had two biopsies a year, and the PSA kept going up until it was 12! They finally found a cancer cell, and I had mine removed at age 65. Didn't want to go thru radiation and chemo. Like someone said previously, it's just a gauge. Keep us posted, and GOOD LUCK!
crappieseeker is right Mike. About 6 years back while on a deer stand I all of a sudden couldn't hold by urine. It was after dark and I couldn't see but I peed twice in 5 minutes. My ride picked me up and we headed to the camp. I jumped in the shower where I had to pee again. It came out blood red and I almost fainted. I hollered to the wife to pack our stuff as we were headed home which was about 4 1/2 hours. I stuffed my shorts with paper towels and headed home. By the time I got there the urges had stopped and there was very little trace of blood on my urine. I put off going to the hospital until the next day. Instead I went to my family doctor. He gave me some antibiotics and made an appointment with a specialist. He put me on more antibiotics and the problem went away for a while. My next blood test showed a PSA of 7. Time for a biopsy. They found no problem and my last PSA was 1.5. So have it checked out and we'll be praying for you that it is nothing or maybe minor. Either way keep the faith as God doesn't want you until he wants you.
Blessings and prayers,

Prayers sent for you. A friend/co-worker ended up having treatment for prostate cancer about a year ago. He's doing great now. I have relatives in the Birmingham & Bessemer area. Do you know any Lawleys?
Praying that the tests come back negative and everything is okay. Prostate cancer is very treatable. I am 3 years cancer free after being diagnosed with colon cancer

Thank you Gene for your testimony. My biopsy is scheduled for next Wednesday. Does not sound like it is fun, but is something we must do. This is Prostrate Cancer awareness month. For those of you past the age of 50 is is imperative you start having an annual PSA test.Quote:
