Opinions on PSA results. Should I be worried about referral?

Hi I am 60 had a routine blood test last week and PSA came back at 3O, have now been called to urology appointment at hospital within 2 weeks on 23/03. I am now really worried as everything seems to be happening fast, was at GP today he tried to reassure but advised it could be cancer. Has anyone had that reading and it not be cancer ?
