Hello Shevon and thanks for the post

This must be a worrying time for the family but as others have said there could be a couple of reasons for the high psa result. It will only be further tests that can confirm for sure whether if this is prostate cancer or something else like an enlarged prostate or infection (prostatitis).

Try and encourage your dad to talk once you all know more and the more recently taken blood tests are back to find out more.

I hope everything is okay for you dad.

Do get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Best wishes

Naomi
