After taking Proscar for 6 months, my last PSA test results were 3.9. I thought this was good but the PA told me they have to double it when you are taking Proscar. They gave me the choice of having a biopsy done or waiting another 6 months for another PSA test. I chose the latter because I had a biopsy done a year ago and they didn't find any cancer. The test was not real bad but quite an uncomfortable procedure. Should I have had another biopsy or waited another 6 months?

Carmen, If it was me I would ask the doctor If there any way that you could take preventable cancer medications to treat the Prostate Gland so that it doesn't go into cancer

I believe preventable cancer medications can also stop from anything major to happen from having a stage level of Prostate cancer
