I am having a minor stress attack at the moment. I am on lunch and I googled PSA levels. from what I have read, for a man who has had the prostate gland removed (FIL did, 2 yrs ago), if the PSA level rises within 3 years from the surgery, and if the PSA level doubles in less than a year (his more than quadrupled), those are very ominous signs. 50% chance of survival for the next 6 years, 10% chance of survival for next 10 years, and 1% chance of survival for 15 years.
