Hi Beth,

Online resources are great for getting information, but nothing should take the place of your doctor's sound medical advice. Hopefully your guy is following his doctor's advice. If he has been prescribed any medication you can check out the medicines here in the drugs database. If you would like to find out about different treatments you can read about the treatments in the database located here.

You can read about PSA test numbers, what they mean and how they affect the diagnosis of prostate issues in this section located here. Dr Marc Greenstein wrote an article about PSA Velocity and what it means when PSA numbers rise quickly. You can read that article here. Dr Jay Motola has also written much as Dan told you in a previous answer. You can read about Dr Motola here, and read all of his share posts here.

I hope this helps! Please stay in touch and let us know how you are doing.

Vicki
