Internist immediately made a referral to the urologist.  Appointment is January 7.

Key metric is PSADT. (Velocity or Doubling Time)  Online calculator indicates mine is 2.1ng/ml/year. "A relationship was found between increased PSA velocity (>2 ng/mL/year) before initiation of oncological treatment and increased (12-fold) risk of death. A number of well-documented retrospective analyses show that PSADT is one of the most important parameters to describe the disease aggressiveness. It has to be stressed that single determination of PSA levels is much less precise in terms of describing the biological aggressiveness of prostate cancer than PSADT."
