I'm sorry this is happening but the good news is that those GS scores are within the category of early detection and so you should be envisioning a wide range of options. Sharing the age of your partner and their overall health will be helpful for this community to provide feedback and ideas that are relevant to this situation (I'm 52 and a 11 year survivor, as an example). In all cases, I do encourage you to embrace the role of self-education alongside the dual task of establishing a health team. Self-education is tremendously important so that you are asking the right questions and interpreting responses from an informed perspective. Stay positive.

Thank you. I tried to edit my original post to include those pieces of information but didn’t see a way to do that. My husband is a very healthy 52 year old with no other health conditions. He exercises frequently and is in good shape. Over the past year he has had steadily increasing psa’s with his most recent being 10.3. He then did a 4k test that came back at 80. His did have an mri several months ago which came back clean. At that time he opted against the biopsy due to those results. Clearly, he now wishes he had done it back then.

I am glad to hear you are doing so well 10 years later. Hearing success stories definitely gives us hope.
