I have no direct knowledge but I have posted this video link before and it may be of some help in preparing for the urology appointment.

Dr Scholz has made a large number of helpful and informative videos about prostate cancer, though one important thing to bear in mind is that he is based in the USA.

Good luck on your journey.

Very sorry to read Dad situation. Of course with such a high figure a small percentage rise or fall makes a considerable difference and it may be that one of the PSA tests was done quite soon after exertion but there are other possibilities for the drop which could be temporary. Dad needs to have a forthright talk with an Oncologist to discuss treatment possibilities and how far Dad would want to pursue these relative to the extra time they may provde but fall in quality of life

and the other is that he's very anti prostatectomy (although I have sympathy with some of the issues he raises here). Prostatectomy won't be relevant here though.
