@indyguy I had to laugh when you mentioned taking a week to pee. I have been there and then some.
My doctor ordered a PSA about three and a half years ago and it came back 7.84. The reason for the test was I couldn't urinate without a lot of pain.
Needless to say, it was off to the urologist. The biopsy wasn't fun, but it wasn't as bad as I imagined it would be.
Unfortunately, my results were positive for prostate cancer. Luckily, the cancer is very small (still is) and we are just monitoring it.
One positive result is the doctor prescribed a couple of meds, including Finasteride, which can take up to six months to show any benefit. But, once it did, it made my life so much better.
There were sexual side effects, but Viagra helped. Now, that side effect has improved somewhat, but I don't think I'll ever be 40 again. LOL

Lol…Thanks for sharing your experience.
I’m glad you are doing better now.
Hopefully you will be able to just monitor your prostate for the rest of your life with no treatment.
