Re: highest PSA?

You don't say how old you are, nor what the interval between the two

OK, now I figured out which guy I was responding to, I found the other
thread where you said all of my negative factors were combined (brother
with PCa, <55 yo, 2->2.7 PSA rise in 12 months). So you are not being
paranoid, you definitely have good cause for concern and the repeat
test is absolutely the right thing to be doing.

If things come to the worst and it turns out that you do have PCa, the
good news is that you are young and you will have caught it very early,
so with the right treatment your chances of beating this and
maintaining a good quality of life will be good. Put bluntly, no way is
this a death sentence, plan on it being just a bump in the road.
