Has anyone had a PSA of 25?

Very high PSA slight blood in urine

  1. Almost....went from 3.3 about 18 months ago to 24 PSA. The only symptom I tried to have explored - they were unable to diagnose - night sweats on legs and chest for about 8 mos prior to PSA (did not have PSA tested during this time).

    1. any news on how things are going for you? I hope good.

    2. So I fouind out my PSA was 24 on May 16th...finally got my diagnosis after my PET (from an alternate provider - mine hasn't even called me re: PET results. I'm stage 4a. This provider wants me to do radiation and chemo...I'm almost 100 my primary will just say cut everything out... lots of praying to do! 😀

  2. Hi . Believe it or not PSA levels can actually reach into the thousands, although very rare and generally associated with very advanced prostate cancer. Have you had a chance to speak to a urologist? I ask because a specialist can be quite helpful in the diagnostic process. It is important to get answers, as this article on the PSA notes that blood in the urine can be a prostate cancer symptom, although there are a number of potential other causes: https://prostatecancer.net/diagnosis/psa-test. In addition, while, as I noted PSA can go much higher, this article notes that "If PSA levels are above 10 ng/mL, the likelihood of this being due to prostate cancer is above 50%:" https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/319551. I don't say this to scare you, but rather provide the information so that if it is prostate cancer you can catch it early and improve the prognosis. Wishing you the best and please feel free to keep us posted on how you are doing and to ask further questions. Richard (Team Member)

      1. Aghhhh so frustrating. Especially when you're looking for some clarity. Certainly hope you hear back soon...How long has it been? - Jake (Team Member)
