Yesterday, I had another video chat with my Urologist as a follow-up to recent blood work at his office and my PSA numbers had dropped from over 8 to over 6 which according to him was still a little high and I again listened to him explaining how this could be nothing or it could be something and that some Urologists would go ahead and perform a biopsy while others would wait... even though there are some fast growing and "wicked" prostate cancers.
He suggested that since there were no other adverse body symptoms that I should wait and in 3 months do another PSA test and see... if the results stay the same or reduce, then we wait some more but if the result are higher then we do a biopsy.
Interestingly, this is exactly how my treatment for Lymphoma began... wait and see... then 6 months later I began treatment and it has never ended... and, according to the Oncologist will never end...
