Hi Ken,
Sorry you join us due to the situation of your father.
Firstly, I have never heard of a man having more than one Prostate and from what you say this was removed because it was very enlarged (BPH). I think you mean that he had a PSA blood last week which gave his PSA as 31 rather than a biopsy. I would have though that when his Prostate was removed it would have been examined for cancer but it is possible that some cancerous cells escaped and have caused his PSA to be elevated. There are other reasons for an elevated PSA but this does seem rather high for them.
If Dad is to self fund, I would suggest that he makes contact with one of the leading UK hospitals which might include but not be confined to Guys, the Royal Marsden or UCLH in London and sends them his histology with a view to further investigating his situation as a private patient. It is likely that he will have (a) scan(s) to help establish the extent of his problem and recommend appropriate treatment . If cancer is sufficiently near the Prostate bed it might be possible to treat with radiation or even if there are a very few metastases. However, if cancer is believed to be elsewhere, or more extensive he may be recommended a systemic treatment as deemed appropriate by his consultant.
Wish him well
PS
I have just seen the previous reply which is another explanation for a testicle rather than a Prostate being previously removed. If this assumption is the case, surgical removal of the Prostate or radiation to it might be possible. In any event, contact the private patient inquiries of the hospitals as suggested. Actually, I think this more likely as you head this as early stage, which it would not be if he had had his Prostate removed. It is important that information provided is correct.
