Hello,
Good idea, get moving now. My PSA was 4.2. In my situation, it was worse than the number indicated to me. It had metastasized and was found in one lymph node too. However, the good news is my PSA level has been undetectable since my surgery, which was nine months ago. Good luck. Jerry

I am now 75, but first had undiagnosed PC at age 62. My brother had a prostatectomy at age 58.
He is now 86.

Diagnosed at 68. Interestingly, PSA was only 4.5 but had Gleason score average of 8. Had prostatectomy at 68, PSA started doubling, then had radiation at 69 for 40 sessions. PSA started doubling again, so went to hormone therapy. This kept testosterone at 0 and PSA undetectable. Recently stopped hormone therapy due to extreme fatigue but PSA is showing up again.

Welcome, @stebro. There are quite a few discussions about treatment decision making in the Prostate Cancer group (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/prostate-cancer/). I can help you find specific topics if you like.

What treatments are you considering?

Diagnosed in Feb of 2022 at 74 Psa of 80 w LN metastasis. I would have been 72 if it weren't for missed psa tests due to covid. My outlook would be a lot better too.
