How big is your prostate? Big prostate usually means high PSA. My PSA was
5.6 nearly ten years ago ( at age 60) and has been as high as 9.0. At the
moment it is 6.5. After three negative biopsies I have stopped having them.
I had a local for the first one but not for the next two as the Aussie lady
Uro working in the UK thought that locals were for wimps:-)
