I'm almost 65.

My PSA test and biopsy results for the past 3 years:

 

12/23/2005 PSA 8.43

02/01/2006 Biopsy (8 samples) negative

07/21/2006 PSA 8.43

07/07/2007 PSA 15.31

   Took an antibiotic for 10 days

08/21/2007 PSA 16.07

09/20/2007 Biopsy (8 samples) negative

01/02/2008 PSA 18.94

02/13/2008 PSA 20.57

06/03/2008 PSA 22.99

06/12/2008 Biopsy (8 samples) negative

11/14/2008 PSA 29.34

 

All DREs did not find abnormal.

 

Do I need to keep having PSA tests and biopsies?
