I'm in the same boat, my father had prostate cancer many years ago, and although it didn't kill him (bowel cancer got him shortly after being diagnosed with prostate cancer) I'm 72 and my psa went up from 5 to 6.9, ive had an MRI scan that they said was inconclusive, I had a prostate biopsy 2 weeks ago and are still waiting for the results of that, it's a big worry.

But the thing that's making me angry is 2 years ago when my psa was diagnosed as 5, I had an appointment at our hospital and given the finger up the bum and told that everything felt normal but my GP would be keeping an check on it, I have 2 blood tests every year due to having a couple of small strokes a few years ago, I presumed that they were also testing my psa at the same time, but I was wrong they have never tested for it, it was only at the last blood test I went for I asked the nurse taking the test if it was for psa, she said no, then I told her about what was supposed to be happening, she went to the computer to  check and confirmed that they had never done a psa test in the last 2 years, she added the psa test to the blood sample she took and here we are now expecting to be diagnosed with cancer
