Just a follow up. I had my PSA checked yesterday per my Urologists orders. It is now 5.5 up from November 2025 when it was 4. My Gleason score is 3+4 as a result of my biopsy this past March. My symptoms have not changed so I'll see what the Dr thinks at my next appt. July 2nd.

@kpg7121 If I am understanding correctly, in March you said the biopsy results were benign. But 3+4 Gleason score is not benign. Did the biopsy report mention anything else like cribriform, EPE/extracapsular extension, IDCP/intraductal carcinoma, PNI/perineural invasion? How many cores were taken, how many were 3+4 and what percentage was 3 vs 4? All things you will want to know when you discuss with your urologist. With prostate cancer, it's not likely someone will have symptoms for many years.

Be aware that people who have even advanced prostate cancer cases have no symptoms and are surprised when they find out they have it.
