<\/figure>\n\n\n\nLooking below to the grid of data in spreadsheet form, Column C is the number of days between adjacent dates.\u00a0 Comments in Column 6 shows PSA doubling calculation information and end with the number of years for my PSA to double from that test date.\u00a0 This remains consistent right through January 2nd, 2024.\u00a0 My doubling all of a sudden accelerated between October to January, rising 1 point.\u00a0 And with a starting point of 5.38, my PSA doubling shrinks to a year or less.\u00a0 Hence the recommendation of my urologist to proceed with the prostate removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When I get back my March 26, 2024 result and my PSA dropped, I have to go back to dates when my PSA was less than 4.69, such as November 7, 2022 and earlier. My earliest reading was 2.6 in 2017, so at 4.69 it hasn\u2019t reached double 2.6 = 5.2 yet, or in 6.45 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These PSAs are doubling in may more than 1 year, and now my number stands at a much lower starting point at 4.69. Could that number double in 8 years to 9.38 ? At 78 years old do I now face the prospect of prostate removal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have to get back to this chart and add my new score and see what that means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n AFTER MY 3.3 PSA score<\/p>\n\n\n\n PSA doubling no longer seems to make much sense now, since I have to go back to October 2018, almost 6 years ago to get a number under 3.3 <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a9 2024, Patrick Murray, Manchester NJ.
