Hello Colleen
Thanks for responding
Surgery is not a good option due to age, CABG, co-morbidity etc.
Radiation Oncologist and Urologist suggest MRI and repeat biopsy.
With supplements PSA has dropped to 3.1 from 6.5 prefer to repeat PSA and DRE (which has been normal). I am presently undecided but if PSA worsens or DRE is abnormal then may look into MRI first before repeat biopsy. I am not sure what other options are there now, or will be in available in future researches.
Thanks again

June 7, 2023 - Recent Blood test results
PSA 2.97 (total PSA level below 4 ng/ml, But 4.5-5.5: Normal for a man 70 and Older?)
PSA, Free 0.616
PSA, % Free 20.7 (Howard Health Blog suggest: Men with a total PSA in the same range and a free PSA below 10% need to have a biopsy? A percent-free PSA above 25% is considered normal?)
Do I Continue Active Surveillance? I am not sure what other options are there now, or will be available in future researches.
Thanks
