I have been diagnosed with the same problem but my numbers are considerably smaller. Annual bloods gave a PSA of 4.1, doctor recommended a consultant. Due to Covid we had a telephone meeting , a re-test was recommended and it was 3.9 which is ok. Consultant does not put any faith in old fashioned pokes up the bum, its straight to the scanner if needed. much to my relief, The Big Yin can bugger off. Last PSA was 5.0 which is ok because when you reach 70 the threshold goes up to 5.
Living in Dublin and earning too much for a Medical Card this has cost Euro595, I'm not complaining but it makes it difficult listening to people knocking the NHS. Thank your lucky stars.
