Yes David it was over 500, PSA in the hundreds are not uncommon.I read recently on cancer research uk, of a chap with a PSA of 1760 which reduced to 600 during treatment.

Well you learn something new every day don't you,, 500 that's flipping scary, hope it all works out ok for him and you of course.

So I need to join this thread now as OH has been diagnosed with PC.
He has had a number of tests and next week we go to hear the results.
He had very few symptoms, just minor changes, so we were both surprised to find his PSA levels borderline.

My OH was diagnosed last year after his PSA level was found to be up and he had a biopsy which confirmed the cancer. His PSA went up again and he had another biopsy yesterday, awaiting results.
He has three brothers all who have prostrate cancer. One died last year but not of the cancer, another brother had treatment eight years ago and is fine at the moment, another brother left it too late and the cancer spread.He is having chemo and radiotherapy.
My OH has no symptoms whatsoever, he had to be persuaded to go for his second biopsy.He just doesn’t want to know and dreads any treatment. His biggest fear isn’t the cancer but having to wear a permanent catheter. His consultant wants to take the prostrate out but at the moment OH says no. Only he can decide, very worrying.

If he decided to have it out tell him very very few men end up with a catheter,, I had one in for two weeks for the urethra to rejoin successfully then had it removed and I've been fine although do leak a little enough to wear pads but just in case really I'm pleased to say.
I would recommend that he does the pelvic floor exercises right now as I must admit I was a little lazy doing mine and if I'd tried harder then most likely I wouldn't leak now..
I was only in more or less over night, in at half seven in the morning and out around four next day, if he does have it done make sure to take a loose fitting pair of trousers to wear home because they pump your belly up with gas to give themselves room to work and it takes a few days to go down and I came home with my trousers half undone ( good job it wasn't on the bus)
Best wishes to you both.

So OH is to have the hormone treatment, plus maybe some radiotherapy eventually as it has spread to a lymph node, but not bones. He has no specific symptoms, the minor changes he had previously may have been a UTI, which was seen off when he had antibiotics when he had his biopsy.
