I'm 60 and about a year ago my PSA started to "spike" when my PSA was 6 I was sent to a Urologist, had a biopsy and got a benign report for PC. Six months later my PSA is 12 and I've been on some meds and supplements. I will retest in Jan and go from there. Your urologist might do a digital exam and do some imagining first and then a biopsy. You might also go on some drugs supplements etc. You might go on Active Monitoring for PC. Keep in mind that your PSA might be due to BPH not PC. You might talk to your Urologist about your concerns. I would go to a Urologist ASAP. When my PSA was 3.5 I was encouraged to go and I didn't. You should expect a conservative approach. My dad had BPH and elevated PSA. I have a huge family history of Cancer. I'm trying to be as positive as I can about this. Just take it one step at a time. This support group is amazing.

I respect and value your courage. I will go to the urologist ASAP.
