Next step is the biopsy. Trust me on this, you don't want one of those if you don't have to have one. I went that route, following my Doc's advice. Even the results from that gave us no help as to what to do next. Worse yet, the medical problems that developed as a result of that biopsy, for months after, were not fun.

I'm convinced that serious bicycling can lead to increased PSA levels......That is not the same as cancer.

Doc said lets do another biopsy in a year......I said no thanks.
