Knowing of my PC journey my brother, who is in his mid eighties, has been prompted to have a PSA test and the associated DRE. This was followed by a referral to a hospital urology consultation.
His PSA was 8.1 when tested in mid September. I believe that after having had a similar examination the consultant explained the possibility of HT & RT but told him that the normal threshold for further investigation was 6.5 but owing to his age they would not be concerned about his PSA level until it reached 20 and would put him on AS to have another blood test in six months.
He is a very active man for his age with no other ailments of any kind.
What does the team think?
