Hi MelanieT. Welcome to the forum.

I should start out by saying that I'm not a doctor, but I was diagnosed with early stage prostate cancer back in 2010 when I was aged 56, and that was treated by surgery.

6.5 is higher than the accepted norm for a man of 51, but as PSA readings go, this is still a pretty low value.

Is this likely to be prostate cancer?  Well, no, it's not likely but I'm afraid it is possible. There are any number of reasons why one's PSA may be raised, with infection and/or benign prostate swelling being very high on the list of possibilities. 

However, if it does turn out to be prostate cancer, then it is highly likely to be early stage and may not even need treatment. Early stage prostate cancer has a very high rate of cure. 

I know it's really difficult not to worry, and cancer is a scary word, but please try not to panic over this.

Hi Melani

As your husbans PSA is only slightly elevated, even if it should turn out to be cancer, they should be able to manage it reasonably easily. Mine was 70 when diagnosed and ended up at 0.01, the lowest they can measure. So I hope my story will help allieviate your worries. 

I also was diagnosed with diabetis at the same time. 

Sending best wishes to you and your husband and please keep in contact, Brian
