First, prostate cancer is very treatable, especially if diagnosed early. The 5-year relative survival rate for most people with local or regional prostate cancer is nearly 100%. I am 66, my PSA prior to treatment was >200.0, and I have Stage III prostate cancer . One of the physicians on my team said that they expect to see me in 15 years, and chances are I'll die from something else before I die from prostate cancer.

Second, do some research on prostate cancer, PSA tests and systemic TRUS guided biopsies, and their reliability so you have a better understanding of this diagnostic technology. I was having negative biopsies (3) with a PSA well into double digits with the systemic TRUS guided biopsy method. If you have a biopsy, an MRI Fusion Guided Biopsy appears to be the current best practice.

Here are a couple of good consumer friendly articles from the NY Times on the efficacy of the diagnostic methods.

Also, here is an excellent consumer friendly books on prostate cancer by Mayo staff.
