Check out Dr. Kent Walners book A non surgical perspective to prostate cancer. Dr Walner treated me at the Seattle, WA VA 20 years ago by putting in 56 radio active seeds. Here I am 20 years later, at 80, and still doing what I did at 50 (well, I wasn't doiing much at 50 lmao)Good luck,Tex
There are problems with psa test interpretation ,not a black or white issue.Good to get second opinion before surgery.
My doctor says the digital exam isn’t used anymore and all they do is the PSA test. Is this true everywhere?

Bladder and Intestine. Now again more to follow. This time looks like one of my Ulcers 'bursted' , probably the one from Work and not the Guzzi one
No, my Dr.did the digital exam during my yearly physicals until a couple years ago when I questioned why he still did the test. I told him that it was my understanding that for the most part it was no longer considered necessary by a majority of Dr’s. Doc explained that the digital test would reveal a “bump or knot” that could vary well be a cancerous tumor and that a PSA test may not reveal a significant rise in the PSA number. Older doctors learn these things through years of experience. However my Dr said that we could drop the digital test if I wished because at my age if I developed prostate cancer I’d probably die of old age before the cancer got me and that the yearly PSA was good enough.
