PSA Test

I do hope you're going to feel peaceful with whatever you decide Nick. This forum has resulted in a mix of thoughts, medical information, as well as personal advice. It's a tough decision but  it is your decision to make in consultation with your doctor. I hope we haven't made it more complicated.

My husband has opted  to go ahead and have the biopsy but he hasn't decided on any particular course of action he would take should it be a cancer diagnosis. It sure isn't straightforward is it? Hopefully you'll let us know what you decide but I can sure understand if you choose not to!

Take care all. 

That is a very positive statement! Definitely let us all know how your husband's biopsy goes. Good luck with everything!

Does any one have info related to Jpouch patients and enlarged prostate issues...I read some where a while back that J pouch men have the propensity to have an enlarged  prostate...unfortunately  I don’t remember the source.

Yeah, the J-pouch definitely affects a lot of things, I am not too surprised about that at all.

Hello All:

This is Nick who began this discussion about enlarged prostate and a high (9.3) PSA test.  A urologist from Johns Hopkins Hospital told me before anything else happens I should get a 4K blood test which determines whether or not to have a biopsy of one's prostate. I will let you all know what happens.  Thanks to all for your comments and recommendations.

I would rather you get the biopsy ASAP but I am glad you are looking further into this instead of just dropping it like other people said to. Thank-you for looking further into it

And okay let us know, I hope all is well!
