[QUOTE="raygo, post: 8242, member: 352"] Just wanted to add my 2 cents to this discussion, and also thanks for posting this link. Last year, PSA was 2.3 (age 55) ... while not over 4, Doc said no to TRT until a uro visit, which didn't happen. I put my plans on hold. I did my own retest at LabCorp a month later, PSA was 1.4. No response from TRT doc to my request to revisit decision. One year later during routine blood work I asked for a PSA, which came back 10.1! Alarm bells and a few cash registers were ringing on that. I suspect prostatitis. Dismissed by my uro (older guy, age 75) ... he said probably not. Let's do a biopsy. Sidenote ... I was in such discomfort 3 days after the DRE ... again another sign of prostatitis, but my calls go unanswered. I also did a PCA3 urine test, which came back at 31 (anything less than 35 is considered low risk of prostate cancer). I was feeling good with that result. They still want a biopsy! I found the above link a month ago, and started the same supplement cocktail as the author. Some of the ingredients would be considered natural therapies for prostatitis as well as cancer, so it seemed reasonable. Got my latest PSA back ... 3.6. All on my own with natural therapy. Once I get back to under 2 I'll start my quest for TRT. Don't let anyone talk you in to a prostate biopsy based on one number! Also, I need to get a better uro. But I credit that link with saving my walnut! [/QUOTE]
