The larger your prostate the higher, your PSA it seems. I know a friend of mine that had a PSA of about 50 had a large prostate, but never had cancer even though he had many Biopsies.
Definitely not time to panic. Did they mention BPH as possibly one of your problems and that you should be on antibiotics? That’s what people here have said they needed when they had high PSA and it turned out to be BPH.
I’m 6’4” and My prostate was 80, which is large, but people my height make up only one percent of the population. Yours should’ve been bigger than mine but 190s huge.
I read that there’s a real advantage to having a larger prostate when it comes to getting an MRI. They can find the cancer more easily.

What were your friend's Gleason scores with all those biopsies? Mine were 7-9 with 12 cores add the 43 PSA that pretty much shows camcer for sure. I have heard of some Dr.s only doing 3 cores. That is a quack I feel. A PSA test is only a starting point that hopefully get ones' attention that further tests are needed.A high PSA should never be just ignored I feel.

My prostate at RP was 100 6'5" and 250lbs. diagnosed 71 YO 2/2019 PSA 43 Gleasons 7-9 12 cores taken. Oncologist of a high school clasmate was told side effects of Lupron are rare. TOTAL LIE ! I suggested to my radiation oncologist that it might be a good idea to post a sticker over the mens urinals in sports stadiums listing symptoms and advising a PSA test. Her reply: "That would cause panic"" So we PC sufferers endure this horrible disease and the above mentioned quackery
