I'm a little confused here, did you call off the biopsy you said was "now scheduled me for a biopsy next week" in your first post?
At the risk of being alarmist, my doc said the same thing, "everything felt normal", and it was the DRE from hades. I almost went over the other side of the table...
Almost 4 years later, an RP and Salvage Radiation with ADT under my belt, turns out I was Gleason 7. Granted my PSA at that time was 11 so the MRI / Biopsy decisions were a little easier to make.
I'm in agreement with the rest of the group here. It's not time to be alarmed, but it's not time to ignore it either. With that high(ish) doubling rate, I'd want an MRI at least. After everything "felt normal", my MRI with contrast diagnosed me as a PI-RADS: 5.
Could an enlarged prostate cause that PSA jump, I think so, but I'd want to know.
Best of Luck to you!

Let me clarify. Ive been going to my primary doctor for TRT treatment, and all the psa levels listed above is from my primary doctor. Since my levels have been up and down, he referred me to go see a urologist, and wont prescribe TRT until urologist reports are done. It took a month and a half before they could see me, so it was just recently i had my rectum exam, and he said it felt normal. He then proceeded to say lets set up for a biospy in the coming weeks, which is set up for Nov 18th. I asked was he going to take another blood sample, just to see if it had come down, since i havnt been on Testosterone for almost 3 months, and he said it wasnt necessary. I then proceeded to ask should i have an MRI first, and he said he wants to go and be certain from the beginning, so with me being a newbie, im following my doctors orders. Now that its been almost 3 months since my last visit with primary care doctor, my 3 month follow up was due yesterday, so i kept the visit, and had them run labs again, for im curious to see if my psa has come down, and possibly to normal. If my psa has dropped, im questioning if i should keep the biopsy appointment, or demand a MRI, even if i have to go get a second opinion.
