Virginia Urology just did a prostate check and said my PSA was 5.67 (I'm 66 years old) ... they set me up for a prostate biopsy early next month ... I agreed to this "recommendation" ... my question is what is the percentage of men that all of a sudden have to get this expensive procedure ??? ... is it EVER , "hey , Bob , you're fine , see you in another year " ??? ... they said it's not necessarily hereditary but I believe otherwise !!! ... do men of my age just get "railroaded" into this procedure ??? ... robert j. walters

You don't mention it here but from my experience an increase of .75 year over year may give urologist some concern, especially like yours being outside the accepted range for your age, although probably not by much. Having peace of mind after my biopsy was a comfort to me, although my prostate didn't like it.
