I figured I should give a follow up since I posted it in the open forum (prostate biopsy)

Great news Doug, glad things are moving in the right direction

Great news! God is good! It will be a few years until your number stabilizes. Mine continued downward below 1 for about 2 years.

Things are looking good for now, but I am under no illusion that this cancer won't recur in the future.

For today I am good and will just count my blessings one day at a time!

Well this is something that I have been pretty negligent about. But I did a DAT today and included the PSA test. Im probably a little young to worry too much, but on the other hand... why wait. This is now something ill follow up on yearly.

Good insurance. Even if you're a little young, the PSA test won't be much out of pocket if your plan won't cover it.

Prostate cancer is mostly found in older men but isn't really age dependent.

My uncle was recently diagnosed and apparently its hereditary. Also our hospital does direct access that includes several blood tests all of your own choosing, if you'd like. I paid 100 bucks and it checked a whole bunch of things, cholesterol, uric acid and probably 15 others I can't pronounce or spell. I opted to pay a bit extra for the PSA on this one. But at 100 bucks... ill take that, easy
