I'm curious what PSA's and symptoms you folks had. My PSA is 1.9 and the prostate is firmer on one side than the other, with a tiny bump that my doctor noticed.
Had a PSA of 16- and over here they get worried if it goes over 10. Biopsy showed Ca in all 6 tests That biopsy hurt as the prostate was very firm all over. Radical prostatectomy with a 12" incision- Think the surgeon must have had big hands.

Now 7 years later and Psa still at "0" but Good sign is that other than a bit of sorenesss after 4 hour rides- I have no problems.
