I am a 68 year old male. About a year ago I had a PSA test that was 4.6 I was checked by a Urologist and seemed to be OK. I recently had a new test and it rose to 6.0.......Does that mean that I am a high risk for prostate cancer?
You better get a biopsy. I am 49 and had a 4.6 psa. My biopsy showed 50% of my prostate with cancer. I had surgery in October. Feeling pretty good now.
I am 62yrs old was diagnosed with prostate cancer on April10,2002 and I have a PSA of 6.0 You should talk with your Doctor about having a biopsy. If you don't have a biopsy, you probably should have a PSA done every 6mo's.
A biosy is certainly called for and I'd get a different Doctor. A Doctor that allows you to have a PSA of 6.0 without additional testing does not have very much experience!!!
