[QUOTE="OMI100, post: 187929, member: 71"] UPDATE i WAS LOOKING FOR MY ORIGINAL POST BUT IT MUST HAVE DISAPEARED:) SHORT STORY BELOW:) Hmmm I have a thread or 2 on my PSA. I was waaaay higher than you. DR wanted to do a blind biopsy. Not no, but hell no. Lets do a 4K blood test. Results were good. Still over 4. Lets do a blind biopsy. Hell no. Let do a 3T-MP-MRI. results came back good. I had an infection. After getting the right antibiotics the PSA came down. Blind biopsy is not the best if you needed one. Go here and sign up and do your homework on PCa on testing and treatment option. Do your home work and research. [URL='https://www.inspire.com/groups/us-too-prostate-cancer/?ref=as&asat=665962329&u=YDFJXMSX']Us TOO Prostate Cancer - Inspire[/URL] some info here: [URL='https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/the-4kscore-can-accurately-identify-the-risk-of-aggressive-prostate-cance.7535/#post44285']The 4Kscore Can Accurately Identify the Risk of Aggressive Prostate Cance[/URL] [URL='https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/prostate-infection.12343/#post-88379']Prostate infection[/URL] UPDATE 9-26-20 O.K. Saw another post about high PSA so this a continuation of my very first post. My Urologist keep retiring and I keep getting new "OLDER" ones:) High PSA (HMMMMM I have had that for looong time) BIOPSY.... Not NO but HELL NO... 3T MRI time again (#2 if I am counting correctly). Results came back with some areas in question flagged. BIOPSY TIME said my Urol. Not NO but HELL NO I said:) It is 2nd opinion time I said. Did my research on Inspire and noted that one DR keep coming up as Platinum for MRIs. DR. BUSH. [URL unfurl="true"]https://buschcenter.com/[/URL] He had recently relocated to Alpharetta GA. Called to see if he did 2nd opinion on MRIs. Yep. Packaged everything up and mailed to him. Could have done phone consult but only a short 5 hour road trip and overnight stay :) Appointment came and I went to his office. Looked like a NASA command center with 24inch monitors all over his desk:) He had both MRIs up and explained that first MRI (my words here) was garbage and unreadable. Said the second was better BUT still not of best quality. He said he thought he saw the areas that were flagged on the NEW MRI, but he said he did think the areas were of concern. Said he could perform an MRI that day and give me a definitive report. Hell YES... Staff took me to a dressings room and I prepped for the MRI. Was in the MRI less than 30 minutes after I agreed. After the MRI was done I dressed and by the time I was out of the dressing room he had the MRI up on the computer in his office. He went over the MRI in great detailed and said he could now clearly see the area in question (2mm). He said the area was so small that it would be almost imposable to do a hit with a biopsy needle. He felt that the area was NOT cancerous and saw no other indications of cancer. He does have the ability to do real time in bore biopsies if needed. I was not concerned enough to even worry after the discussions that we had while going over the MRI. Said come back in year for another MRI if I wanted:) BTW he did say I had a reeeeeeealy large prostate (HMMMMM my BPH). BTW Dr, Bush is out of network and all is self pay, but he will work with individuals that may not be able to cover his normal cost. O.K. so where I am at now.. NO PCa :) Reeeeealy large prostate :( Getting up every 1.5hrs at night to pee :( Have decided I need to do something about that and am now looking at procedures to resolve that issue. Just like PCa, there are all kinds of procedures, so I just need to find one that I am comfortable with and a provider that take insurance:) Thats my story and I am sticking to it:) [/QUOTE]
