I've been using Spiriva nearly 10 years and this year my PSA results spiked from less than 1 to above 6. Where did you get your info regarding the statistics on prostate cancer, as I would much like to study it. Thanks
I started Spiriva 2 years ago. I had mild COPD. I also had no prostate problems prior nor did I have a family history of Prostate cancer.Towards the end of last year I was diagnosed with stage 3 prostate cancer, gleason 10. My psa was 18.1. I have since had the DiVinci surgery (which I fully recommend) and I am not undergoing radiation. None of the existed before Spiriva!!!! I found out that if you are on Spiriva 2 years - 5 years your chances of getting prostate cancer is 50%. If you are over 60 (I am 62) the chances are 90%. THe chance of having a severe cancer if on Spiriva is 100%
I have asked too; both my Urologist and my Pulmonologist. Neither had an answer. I just got a new Pulmonologist so will ask him too.
I've asked the same question. fter taking Spiriva my PSA levels went up. can't get an answer
Took Spriva for mild enphyzema and PSA elevated from 0.1 to 1.0 in 3-4 months. Waiting for byopsy results. Painful & frequent urination.
