Doctor will not give you the result of your PSA test! Get another DR, NOW! There is no excuse for this type of nonsense. There is no place for this type of Dr.

The most important thing is the rate of change in PSA. Any change over about 0.6 in one year and you need to be concerned. DO not stay with any Dr who will not tell you the result or discuss it with you, he is a QUACK! Degree or not, he is a Quack if he does not discuss the result with you and explain it in detail. Also if you exhibit any symptoms or have any family history of prostate cancer be very concerned, do any extra exams that may or may not show whats going on. Be safe and do not let them cower you into accepting symptoms as being "normal". Get a second opinion.

The condition IS genetic. Genes do not mean your doomed, just that you need to be extra vigilant.

I say the condition may be genetic because my family history. It runs in the family. One of my family is a leading cancer research surgeon, he says it is genetic. He has also been elected as one of the Good Housekeeping, cancer Surgeons of the year, a couple years back. So he knows what he is talking about. It runs back over 6 generations in my family.

Bottom line----get a good Dr. One that will talk to you, explain whats going on, one that knows whats going on, usually noted by one that is good at explaining whats happening.
