Went to the doctor the other day due to some issues I thought may be prostate related so they took a PSA test and it came back at 39. Dont know much about it except I know thats pretty high. I am trying to get into a urologist ASAP. Anyone have any thoughts on the matter. I cant find much. thanks

I am a prostate cancer survivor (also having traveled most of the journey beginning with the biopsy and including the robotic surgery. The https below will take you to an excellent resource.

Let me know if this helps or if you have any specific questions?

Craig, you are my Doppelganger.

Here's a few more websites/forums. 1day2Bbionic, don't delay in seeing the Urologist ASAP (the threshold for men's PSA is 4.0).

Here are the two websites/forums which I was very active on in the months after my PCa diagnosis, as well as post prostatectomy:
- https://healthunlocked.com/ Several good communities...
.... Active Surveillance - Prostate Cancer
.... Advanced Prostate Cancer
.... Erectile Dysfunction Support
.... and more.
- https://www.inspire.com/
.... I am subscribed to the "Prostate Cancer" community

I am much more active on FrankTalk.org these days (it's pretty focused on my big challenge, ED).

I've made "friends" on both HealthUnlocked and Inspire. I'm of the opinion the "guys" on these two forums are much more empathetic and knowledgeable on the subject of prostate cancer than the FrankTalk folks.

I challenge you to reach out to the members -- pretty sure you'll hear back from a few who are "in your shoes" and will share their experiences.
