A few weeks back, as part of my regular visits to the doctor, my blood tests came back showing a PSA reading of 4.4. It was up from right around 3 the previous year. As a result, my Doctor referred me to a Urologist for further investigation.
The Urologist did the digital exam and said the prostate seemed enlarged and smooth. But he also wanted to be sure, and wanted to perform a biopsy on it. So we scheduled that appointment. The first time, I hadn't read the prep instructions well enough and hadn't discontinued taking my daily 81 mg aspirin dose. By the next week, I was fine, and he did the procedure, which is "uncomfortable" to say the least. Today, four business days later, he called to tell me that the results were negative. I do not have prostate cancer. But I do have to get my PSA levels checked every six months from now on.
Good news.

So glad to hear the test was negative. We were wondering how things turned out. Look forward to seeing you in a few weeks.
