Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.

I have reviewed your serial PSA reports and physical as well as radiological examination.
You don't need to do anything actively at this point of time other than probably repeat a PSA after 6 months.

I hope I have answered your query.

Regards.

You say probably repeat psa after six months
My question is repeat psa after six month from now or from the last psa test aug 2011

Hi,

Thanks for reverting.

I would suggest that you get PSA repeated now itself and let your mind rest in peace.

I hope I have answered your query. Please accept my answer if you have no further queries.
