I just learned that my PSA count is 125. Does that mean I have a high risk for cancer?

Two weeks ago I noticed that I had lost 8 pounds and was having difficulty in urinating.  I went to the Doctor and he took blood and urine test.  The PSA count was not ready.  The Doctor said I had an extremely bad prostate infection and put me on 500mg tab Levofloxacin.  I am 59 years old and my family has a high risk of cancer.  The Doctor called today and said he wanted to get a fluid test by feeling the prostate.  He made the comment that he has never seen the PSA count as high.  I have been on the medicine for 12 days now I have my appetite back and have gained 5 pounds back.  My normal weight was 193 and was down to 184.  I am back up to about 186.
