Three years after Proton Therapy and I did get an MRI

my PSA jumped from 1.0 to 1.6 in 6 months so we decided to take an antibiotic, that lowered my PSA down to .9. We also did a pelvic MRI with contrast and the results were great. No cancer in the prostate, no cancer in the pelvic bone marrow, and no swell in the plevic lymph nodes. Gonna head back in 4 months for my next MRI.

It's been a year? And a PSA bump

So in the last year post treatment life has looked great. In April my psa was 1.0. This october at my regualar doctors physical it was 1.2, two weeks later at my semi annual appointment it was 1.6. That made every stop. Doctor asked if I was peeing more often, didn't think so, was it painful when I urinated and I said I did not think so, he thought it might be prostitis that is causing my psa to rise, I asked if Covid could cause it, he said he didn't think so (google covid and PSA, you will find that a case study of 91 guys showed that the PSA does spike during covid, and results of .6 increase lasted for 3 months, but I digress). So I went on a 1 week antibiotic and we retested 12 days later and bam it is back to .92. I am also scheduled for an MRI on sunday, but that may be cancelled. That's it, that is what has kept me stressed for two weeks. PS, the week leading up to my PSA's every 6 months is stressful as well. Other patients I talk to experience the same.
