My friend is in the hospital with acute pain from an enlarged prostate. It took 24 hours after he was admitted to do a biopsy and a psa. His psa results is 100 and it will take 2 days for the biopsy results. Needless to say my friend is very scared. Does a psa of 100 mean cancer? What is the percentages that it does? Also, does it normally take 21/2 days to read a biopsy? I am worried that time may be important factor if it is cancer.
