Thank you everyone!
The urologist was satisfied with the 2.35 level and emailed to tell him to continue with the annual PSA screening next year. I think I would be happier with a recheck in 6 months because of the increase from 1.1. But then again, this is NOT my area of expertise.
My fathers had been around 4 for so long that increased to 6, further tests to find was PC, had Robotic procedure (ralp) - has been good since.
Thank you again for your replies and stay healthy!!!

I think it's ok to push back a bit if you want and ask for 6-month PSA screening instead of annual, at least for a couple of years. As I mentioned, it's so inexpensive and non-invasive that there's no harm in having it done a bit more often if that will help your and his peace of mind.
