History Of Having Prostatectomy Due To Cancer. Psa .02, Fluctuating Bilirubin Level From 0.8 To 1.9. Possible Recurred Cancer?
I had a prostatectomy 4 years ago due to cancer. I am 63 years old. My psa is now running .02. However my bilirubin level has been fluctuating from 0.8 to 1.5 to 0.6 to 1.5 to 1.0 to 1.9 over the last 12 months. What would be the reason for that. My dr is a VA dr and it's hard to get any concrete answers from him. I worry about my cancer returning, and turning up in the liver.

Hi, Welcome to health care magic forum.
You had prostate cancer and got operated , now you have no problem with the urination.
Now you liver function tests started abnormal, you are fearing of the recurance. It may not be a recurance or metastasis.
It may be due to the alcoholism, drugs, or viral hepatitis.
I advise you to consult a gastro enterologist for diagnosis and treatment.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
