[QUOTE="caston41, post: 6704, member: 1060"] Thanks for the detailed answer! Besides age, I have one risk factor. My dad had prostate cancer, although I can't remember how old he was when he got it. Probably in his 60's. They caught it early, I believe as a result of PSA testing. :-) Due to previous non related surgeries, his only treatment option was seed implantation. It was successful, and he never had a re-occurrance, he's active and turns 84 in a few weeks. I'll be curious if my PC ok with re-testing due to my sexual activity before my last test. Maybe he'll think I'm fine being under 4.0 and not want to take any action? Especially if a re-test improves. Seems that docs don't agree at all on when to do a biopsy anyway. I do not have any problems urinating, and to my knowledge I have no infections. I will be undergoing an IV infusion for a unrelated condition in the near future that will wipe out all of my B cells for up to a year. This is a good reminder to check with my doc. Is it possible to have an prostatic infection and not know it? It could get out of hand after this treatment if not caught before hand. Can you have a prostate infection or UI w/o any symptoms? Last thing I neglected to mention, that back in Sept. I had a clean DRE by a urologist. :-) [/QUOTE]
