OK George and Len:

Let me revise my scenario.

George --- I'm assuming a negative DRE (nothing found).

Let's now also assume a more modest rise in my PSA.

So, what do I then do.

BTW, here are my ACTUAL PSA results. I consider them normal for me (I am
58). Does it appear normal or should I be worried (just sort of curious what
you think; I might add my family doctor and my urologist consider it quite
normal):
DATE PSA
3-04 2.15
2-03 2.0
11-01 2.1
10-00 2
10-99 1.7
10-98 1.6
10-97 1.5
10-96 1.3
6-95 1.2
