Did you have any other symptoms like blood or pain?
I’m glad you’re ok. Thanks for sharing

There are several reasons for a rising PSA score . You just want to make sure the reason isn't cancer ! Found early lots of treatment options . Found late or after it has mastasized your treatment options dwindle and are more invasive .

Listen to your doctor and urologist , if they want further evaluation then do it . Hopefully it's no big deal and you are good to go . If not you are catching it early and it's not a death sentence . There's an old saying , more men die WITH prostate cancer than FROM it . You just don't want to be in the FROM it category .

Good luck .
