My partner has been told his PSA is over 200. Does such a high level mean it is definitely cancer, or anybody has had such high levels but turned out to be nothing (maybe side effect of other medication, etc)?

If could be due to an enlarged prostate. Has the GP said what they are going to do next?

My husband had a scare earlier this year. His levels were very high (can’t remember numbers, sorry). He was treated for an infection initially. Then He had to go for a scan. After the scan he was called for a biopsy where they took several samples. A few weeks later he got the all clear.
His best friend has had the same bizarrely but unfortunately his is cancer. He’s having surgery in a few weeks.

Did he abstain before the test??? Having sex or mastubating before the test can push the hormone levels up.

He is getting a call tomorrow. I sm not in tbe uk to different health service. The GP called him to say he will get a call from the urologist tomorrow morning and I suspect then he’ll get referred for tests. By the way he is 75.
