Good news I have just got home from my 3 monthly cancer clinic check up and PSA results.
After a steadily increasing PSA level at each 3 monthly check,today it has gone down!!!
Over the past 9 months it went up from 11.2 to 13.4 to 16.8. Today's reading is 15.7 !!
Which means with the previous rises of 2.2 and 3.4 and if it had gone up again say to 19 or 20 a rise of 2.2 to 3.2.
My actual reading of 15.7 is a difference of 3.3 to 4.3 to what it would have been.
I have been strict on my diet for the past 3 months since my last check up.I have eaten no cheese,organic or not! no butter,grass fed or not! very little red meat!
As I had re introduced cheese and butter to my diet over the previous 6-9 months and my PSA steadily rose,the fact that I have not eaten this over the past 3 months and my count has reduced! I can only conclude that diet and particularly dairy has an effect on PSA levels as my diet and lifestyle had not been changed in any other way!
