wordchild Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I had a high PSA level, and also a low free PSA level (not normally a good combination), I had an MRI which was inconclusive but suggested a reasonable possibility of cancer (3/4 out of 5) . Another doctor (different hospital) wanted to go straight to biopsy. Viroj looked at my history and age , stuck his finger in and had a really good feel, about 3 minutes, (never had a finger in there for that long before!) His conclusion was , don’t rush, wait 2 months and test again, and he strongly advised against rushing to a biopsy. (Which in my initial panic I wanted to do). In the end, to my relief, he was proved right, after 2 months my PSA level was considerably lowered and after another 3 months it was normal. The PSA is without doubt a lifesaving test for many men but it needs careful interpretation by an experienced doctor, he is one , and I would say to anyone with a similar issue go see him.
