[QUOTE="NC58, post: 223621, member: 43856"] Thank you very much for your input. The urologist has never mentioned the size other than saying everything feels fine. I will certainly ask the size question next visit in October. I am 64 years old. I had a biopsy done in 2002 after with a PSA of 2.2 as urologist said it had gone up .4 in 6 months. 6 spots analyzed no cancer. I was not very well versed in what to do with a rising PSA so I went along with it. After that episode he has prescribed antibiotics when PSA is elevated and it has come down each time either with the antibiotics or stopping HRT. Urologist wanted to do another biopsy in 2020 when PSA was 5.4. I stopped HRT for 30 days and PSA came down to 3.7 so I cancelled the biopsy as I did not want to go through that again. I mentioned MRI and he said insurance wouldn't pay for it which is hard to believe as I have very good insurance. I have changed testosterone esters the past several years from cypionate to small does of propionate to better control testosterone, estrogen and I am wondering if the ester effects the PSA differently?
