I am posting this to show that getting a high PSA count does not necessarily mean that you have prostate cancer, (PCuk) say that there is a 75% chance that you do not have it. If you are reading this because you have just been told that you have a high PSA count, it is very unusual not to be worried (I was), but there are a lot of people on here who can help you and do a very good job; certainly they helped me.
Just over 6 months ago I had a PSA test in February and was very surprised when I was told that my PSA count was 11.5; the limit for my age (63 years) is 4. I was referred to the Urology Department at Bedford hospital where I had a Digital Rectal Examination (DRE), a MRI scan and template biopsy; all normal so I was referred to the PSA clinic.
I have just had my first appointment at the PSA clinic and my PSA count is still high at 6.9, it is moving in the right direction; so I have to go back again in 6 months.
