JC76, sorry for the initial reply. I had two replies and accidentally replied to yours with an incorrect response 🙂 ...
It is awesome that your primary care physician is at Mayo. Amazing what a difference it makes to have a competent doctor and organization. Your doctor knows that PSA level does not guarantee you have or don't have cancer. It is the doubling time and velocity that is most important.
For myself and my wife, we are looking into doing a yearly physical at Mayo-Rochester to take the incompetent local doctors (Quad Cities, Iowa side) out of the loop. We would still use the local doctors for colds and non-life threatening issues, but not for anything serious.
Best of luck and so very glad all is going well for you!!
