Only GOOD news wanted (JK).
Are you certain the test needs to be done? I question this because the PSA "normal" numbers, 1 -4 are inaccurate for everyone. The older you become, numbers somewhat higher than 4 become "normal". Meaning that, in some cases, that test is not necessary. Some physicians disagree with this, however, my information comes from many different sources. Due diligence here is absolutely mandatory. Good luck!
