My husband is 73, his PSA went from 5-11 in six months. Gleason scale high enough to put him in highest level. Biopsies were positive on one side...negative on the other. Had negative bone scan and abdomen CT. Spreads to bone and lymph nodes if untreated. Is going to have radiation treatment and anti-testosterone therapy. Unhappy, stressed and worried.

You need to know what you need to know...go see another doctor.
