Answers:
At 51 years of age I had a 3.6 PSA. My doctor said it had risen .75 per year for two years so it was of concern.
I then had an fPSA (free PSA) test which test the percentage of FREE to BOUND PSA. My FREE PSA percentage was only 13%, which strongly indicates cancer.
My biopsy revealed a 3+3=6 score for cancer.
I had surgery and glad I did.
I have NO family history and eat perfectly to protect from prostate cancer. So much for that.
Read Patrick Walsh's 'Surviving Prostate Cancer' for the latest info on dealing with it. It's the bible on the subject.
Also, www.phoenix.org is the best site I found on the subject.
