I'm 32 years old. Two years ago I had the chicken pox and never felt the same. Since then three cysts/nodules have been found in my body: neck, liver, and now the prostate. So far only one from my neck was removed. The liver cyst is simple and we are doing follow-up images for any changes.
The biggest worry is my prostate nodules. Fifteen months ago my PSA was 0.4 and my prostate sized in at 2.5 X 3.5 cm. I also had a transrectal MRI. The cyst had a bit of debris and no solid component. It was a wait and see situation. Unfortunately I lost my job and insurance. What was supposed to be a 6 month follow-up dragged on for 15 months while I waited for medicaid to qualify me.
Now it's 05/05/2007. My PSA jumped to .9 from 15 months ago. I also had a transrectal ultrasound done last week. My prostate now measures 4.7 x 4.5 cm. More importantly numerous "small" cystic and solid nodules have been found throughout.
My question is this. I know you can't give a prognosis over the internet. I'm not here for that. I simply want to know if you've biopsied solid nodules (not cysts) that were negative. Like the cyst in my removed from my neck, I'm hoping this is an infection from the chicken pox. I can understand my PSA doubling cause my prostate increased in size. Unfortunately I'm not to confident seeing how one cyst turned into numerous solid nodules.
