[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 145330, member: 2624"] As noted in other posts, my PSA leaped dramatically in a little over a year, 1.00 to 2.99. Though still below the magic number of 4.00, the velocity puzzled me and alarmed my doctors. My urologist in Toronto was using words and phrases like “biopsy,” and “suspending your TRT protocol for a while” though he agreed - last January - to stay the course and test again in April. I had decided I would not biopsy, I would pursue non-invasive testing via the SelectMDX methodology that recently became available in Canada. I spoke with Nelson at some length and was in the process of lining up a second opinion with Dr. Mohit Khera at Baylor University in Houston if one was needed. Best to be prepared. Tested yesterday, the news was better than I could have imagined. In three months I lowered my PSA from 2.99 to 0.92 (I’m 61 years old). I began taking Turmeric/Curcumin in January: 1000mg twice daily. I did consider the Life Extension prostate supplement that has been taken with success by members here, but opted to keep it as simple as I could. It is not easy to find oneself walking through the maze of prostate treatment (even if only at the threshold as I was). I read a lot of excellent material and first-hand accounts posted here by [USER=71]@Orrin Israel[/USER] and [USER=18023]@DragonBits[/USER]. One size certainly does NOT fit all in this area of men’s health. For some, a biopsy may well be a choice they should make if they face such a dilemma. I became convinced, the more I read, that if I came to that fork in the road I’d opt for another diagnostic tool. Frankly, if we’re fortunate, the biopsy may one day be retired from the urologist’s bag of tricks. I really hope so. [/QUOTE]
