Maybe you know this already, but a PSA test is only one tool, by itself it may not mean much.
Mine was 2.8 (upper limit is 4.0) yet I had prostate cancer, which was only suspected by exam and confirmed with biopsy -- which probably saved my life (this was in 2012). @Steve_R, why no more test? Did you transition to a woman? |

Mine's around 1.0, I get it checked every year due to family history.
Pro tip: If your urologist has a female PA, always make your appointment with her. Finger size matters! |

I have never been tested. It'll probably be what kills me.

My GP is a rather petite female doctor, the first time she wanted to do a finger stick I commented "at least you have a much smaller finger than Doctor X''. She did giggle a bit! |

And if it's a guy doing the exam and he has BOTH hands on your shoulders, there may be more going on than a legit exam.

Diagnosed wth prostate cancer 3 1/2 years ago. Radiation seeds implanted in October 2023. 3 months later PSA dropped from 17 to 3.9. Next PSA will be in July 2024 and expect the PSA will drop further.

Biopsy is the only way to know for sure. Even much more than a PSMA test |

Yes, the biopsy is the "gold standard," if the preliminary tests (PSA and/or digital) point to a problem.

With being a regular at the VA I don't recall having a test specifically for PSA. I might have and looked through some. So I sent them a message to get one

My numbers are good. Due to circumstances I have had a bunch of different tests. Some of them I think were designed by Doctor Marquis de Sade!
