Thank you for answering this question so quickly. It brought much understanding.

Hi, im 65yrs and a high psa level of 12.4, my Urologist sent me for an MRI scan and the scan results came back showing no cancer but i have inflammation and a enlarged prostrate. My Urologist said i have prostatitis which is the cause of high psa. I did mention a biopsy, Urologist said their is nothing showing (cancer)on my prostrate to target the biopsy needle. And declined from having the biopsy.
Im a little nervous as my Dad and Grandad both passed away with prostrate cancer.
This morning i had a psa blood test 3 months after my last psa. So im praying the psa level have come down. Results take a week 🙏
Do PSA numbers ever go down on their own?
On their website they will even connect you to someone willing to talk to you. Really an amazing community out reach. Contact them, you will not be sorry.
What about PSA density?
Prior to a definitive diagnosis having prostate cancer, PSA alone as screening was controversial, needs to be taken in context of other indicators, etc. How then does PSA become almost all that is talked about post treatment. It seems all the videos just focus onPSA levels is the only indicator after treatment has started
Hello Dr. Schultz my name is Richard Shelton my question to you is Sir.There is an injection that is out that actually cure prostate cancer, if that is true, could you please elaborate on that please.
It's a good explanation of free PSA.
Does intermittent hormone therapy for those with advanced disease slow the cancers ability to outwit the hormone therapy and begin making it's own testosterone to live on?
I have a question for Dr. Schultz. I am now undergoing SBRT for my Glisan 7 4+3 prostate cancer my tumor is localized and not spread out of the prostate my question is I have been taking finasteride for close to 10 years for my enlarged prostate I would like to stop taking the finasteride what is your thoughts should I stop taking the finasteride. . Thanks in advance
