concern-- should I add avodart?

I have BPH. I've been on flomax for about 10 years. It has worked FABULOUSLY
for me. No side effects, and quite effective. However, I have been having
increasing problems. My physician suggested adding avodart to the mix.

My concern is mostly the fact that I have a good track record of PSA scores.
I am concerned that avodart might artificially lower it, thus possibly
missing the much more serious prostate cancer.

Any thoughts on that? Is there a definitive multiplier that would allow me
to keep continued track of my PSA score, accurately factoring in the effects
of avodart?
