I give everyone who posted a whole lot of credit for sharing their stories. Thank You.

Over a year ago my blood work for my PSA went from .4 to 5.9 in 8 months. The Doctor said take this heavy antibiotic for two weeks and then two weeks after that we'll take blood and see where we are at.

So after the month of waiting and concern, the reading was .5. The bad thing there was someone walking around who was thinking they are in the clear and may not be. Since that day anytime I have Blood Drawn, the label goes on in my presence and naturally I check to be sure the info on the label is correct.

This subject is important to me as my people in my family up north have not kept up with taking care of the early testing. I get tested twice a year now.
