12. What is my PSA Baseline?.
What is my PSA baseline?
Let me make a couple assumptions and than we can explore the different outcomes. First of all I do not know what my PSA number was before I got cancer. I never tested the PSA before I found out that I had cancer.
What are the conditions that generates a PSA number without having cancer?
1. Enlarged prostate
2. Prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate)
3. Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
4. Recent ejaculation or prostate stimulation
5. Certain medical procedures involving the prostate.
6. Serum parathyroid hormone (PTH)
Note to 6:
It may also promote prostate cancer cell growth, even in people who do not have prostate cancer. For this reason, high levels of parathyroid hormone may escalate PSA levels
What is the baseline PSA for an elderly good looking person of 73 years, that is the question?
This is my source for the PSA number from 0-5.6. https://roboticoncology.com/post/what-is-a-normal-psa-level-by-age
Can I still have prostate cancer if my PSA levels are low?
Having high PSA levels isn’t the only sign of prostate cancer. Your PSA levels can still be low — even below 0.5 ng/mL — if you have prostate cancer.
That’s why a doctor will usually recommend other tests besides a PSA test to diagnose prostate cancer, especially if you’re experiencing other symptoms or are at high risk
This is my source for that information. https://www.healthline.com/health/prostate-cancer/prostate-specific-antigen-normal-range#next-steps
| Age Years | NORMAL PSA LEVEL (NG/ML) | ELEVATED PSA LEVEL (NG/ML) |
| 40 to 50 | 0 to 2.5 PSA | > 2.5 PSA |
| 50 to 60 | 0 to 3.5 PSA | > 3.5 PSA |
| 60 to 70 | 0 to 4.5 PSA | > 4.5 PSA |
| 70 to 80 | 0 to 5.5 PSA | > 5.5 PSA |
What is my goal?
Now back to my current problem. Remember the goal, take as little medication as you can.
I started out with 9.3PSA level. Now it is 4.3 PSA. I took Ivermectin and Fenbendazole to lower the PSA level. So far it worked. From my point of view I reached my goal of trying to get rid of my cancer via lowering the PSA number.
The question is, is my cancer gone, or just hiding behind my lower PSA number? Remember, assuming is not knowing, it is a good feeling but it is still not knowing.
Go to the web page https://psacancerbegone.com/time-line-chart-ivermectin-fenbendazole/ , go to the chart and see how it changed by taking 12 mg Ivermectin. Look at the chart, you can see that I lowered the PSA number with 12mg Ivermectin for 10days from 9.3 to 5.6. Now my thinking is that I never needed Fenbendazole in the first place. What needs to be done is an MRI to confirm that the cancer is gone, or got reduced with ivermectin alone.
Unbelievable
For me it was as unbelievable that the cancer would be gone so fast that I kept moving to lower the PSA number having added Fenbendazole. Now I am wondering if that was a mistake. Luckily I had no side effects so far from Ivermectin and Fenbendazole. Remember, if not needed, do not take it, that is always my goal.

What do we do next?
- First I will get another PSA test at Quest Diagnostics to complete my last test when I lowered the Ivermectin and Fenbendazole.
- Restart my tests with the doctor.
- Get an MRI to confirm the the cancer got smaller or even is gone or in remission.
- See what the results are, make a new decision to keep current path or go into maintenance mode with the medication.
