My PSA went from near zero to 3,4,5,6 in short order. Had a 30 point biopsy—negative. The urologist said he never had a patient that got a negative on his super-duper biopsy that later tested positive for cancer. My numbers are now back to 4ish. But ejaculation has ever since been a bit strenuous. If I had to do it over, I think I’d just wait longer before getting a biopsy.

That was an incredible number of spots for testing, and coming back negative.

Consider lycopene at 30 mg/ day and zinc picolinate (some level under 40 mg of zinc a day is still below the Upper Tolerable Limit), among others mentioned in post #8, to further reduce abnormal prostate cells. Zinc is taken at 60-70 mg/day with eye issues (AREDS), though, but copper deficiency issues crop up over time, if not supplemented enough.

BPH and prostate cancer cells have a lot less zinc and lycopene than normal cells. Unfortunately, it is difficult to get zinc into the abnormal cells, but zinc picolinate is structured in a way that appears to bypass at least some of that resistance, from my research.

I know you are still in an unsafe zone, so please continue to watch it.
