I've gotten great help from the group in the past, now I have a couple more
questions.
I'm 58. Based on a slightly rising PSA (with one inconsistent high reading),
eventually to 2.8,  I had a biopsy in April, part of a clinical trial of
directed biopsy -- along with a regular biopsy at the same time.
The pathology report described 14 specimens, it appears 4 were from two
directed biopsies, others were left base, mid,apex, upper and lower
transition zone, same for right.
All were benign, except the right upper transition zone prostate biopsy:
described benign tissue with mild inflammation with focal chronic
prostatitis.
I also believe my prosate was about 30 , units ?, which would make my PSA
density about .09

I wanted to give myself a little time off, but it's hard not to think of
next steps. I"m planning on seeing my internist in late August/ early
September for a repeat PSA.  My understanding is we'd have to wait six
months to do another biopsy, anyway -- hoping we won't.
Also should add I saw a urologist in  November of 2005. DRE was normal.

As ever, advice is appreciated.

Thanks,

Ed
