Just wanted to say that my husband has as of now 5.6 PSA and he will be 70 in october. IF he went to check his PSA in October, his PSA would be "normal" even though he has one core of biopsy with 4+3 . PSA is just one of things that needs to be checked but it is in no way replacement for MRI and biopsy IMHO.

One poster posted some time ago that a PSA test above normal or a rising PSA over time should be seen the same way when you see a "Check Engine Light" on your car dash lights. I wish I could remember the poster as I keep mentioning his post.
I was diagnosed with prostate cancer with a normal PSA of 3.75. It was the rising PSA over the years that my PCP did not like and referred me to urologist (MRI, Biopsies, diagnosis, treatment).
To those new to MCC a normal PSA does not mean you do not have cancer nor does a abnormal PSA mean you have cancer. It is the follow up test that confirms positive or negative.
This is a excellent post by a spouse of prostate cancer patient. Your spouse is fortunate to have a informed and concerned partner.
