I'd also like to throw out a question to any medical professional out there ..... have you ever experienced someone with a very elevated PSA , lets say in in 10 range that didn't receive any treatment have their PSA level drop back to a " normal " range - I haven't heard any such stories but it would be interesting to know . I guess the real question would be has anyone ever heard of someones body fighting off a probable cancer by itself ?

If someone had BPH that could happen.. Usually, they get treated with anabiotic’s, and it takes the PSA back down again. Well, at least that’s not treatment for prostate cancer.

What is "probable cancer"? A high PSA doesn't mean highly probably, it means "worth looking into". There are guys with very high PSA with no cancer and those with very low PSA that have cancer. Unless you also got a PSE that indicated a high probability then don't assume cancer just yet.
As for PSA, there are a number of things that elevate PSA - sexual activity, strenuous exercise, riding a bicycle - just to name a few. Those things don't always elevate PSA for everyone, but they have been known to.
