BCG Treatments - PSA Numbers Increase

While I was in year 2 of BCG maintenance my PSA went from 3.2 to 5.01. My urologist put me on Cipro for 30 days and it went back to 3.4 and I have not had any problems since. 

Just an FYI, I am now in year 5 post diagnosis and my bladder finally feels almost normal. I still cannot hold a lot of urine but it feels much better.

I go for my 6 month cystoscopy next week and hoping everything is cool!!

Has anyone seen an increase in their PSA numbers as a result of the BCG treatments?  My husbands PSA increased from 2.4 to 7.2 after undergoing the BCG treatments.  Wondering if there is a correlation?
