[QUOTE="bdutts, post: 1710517, member: 29"] Sorry to hear that you lost your Dad to it. You're right, PSA score evaluation has changed quite a bit the past ~20 years or so. I think you're right, they will look to see how it's changed and not necessarily the number. 15 years ago, my score was around 3 which is high for someone that's 40 years old but I had BPH so it wasn't out of the ordinary to have a score like that for my age. So they watch it to see if it changes. For me, my doc did a regular biopsy about 12 years ago just to make sure I was clean (due to family history) and I was clean. But when it jumped from 3.2. to 4.9 last year, something was up. You have an awesome PSA score, that's great. Hope it stays that way. [/QUOTE]
