the Uro in 6 months for tracking and follow-up.
I want to thank each of you for your compassion and willingness to
help.  I realize that while I'm turning in my visitor's pass for now,

I hate to sound like an alarmist, but I have an issue.
My PSA has been very low, 1.2 or so over a year ago.
I recently had an exam.
My doctor said he felt a "slight" enlargement.

who has had their biopsy done through the penis?

went well.  Lately I have been hot all the time.  Any comments?
By the way, all of you who just found out or have not been treated yet.  The
anxiety was the worst part for me.

I posted earlier about a fast rising PSA.
I haven't talked to my internist yet about it, but I've made an appointment
with a urologist in Philadelphia for November 10th.
Just wondered if anyone had recomendations for urologists with a speciality
