Dawn, I am so sorry to hear of that scary PSA report. I'm also sorry that I didn't see this until this morning! But I'm praying all the same! I can understand why it is so scary. There is a song that has been popular for quite a few years now. I can't tell you who sings it or what the exact name of it is but I will tell you one of the phrases from the song is "Sometimes He calms the storm, other times He calms His child". I am praying he will calm BOTH in your case. Hang in there and keep us posted.

Kalynn, Thank you for the phrase! The Internet is a marvelous thing! I searched the phrase and found the words to the whole song. It is written by Scott Krippayne and is such a beautiful poem.
Meanwhile, DH went for one of his usual bicycle rides this past Saturday, and we walked about 3 miles on Sunday. He felt great. One thing about avid bicyclists, their psa numbers are elevated. But, by how much? Another question for the urologist! Also, would it be wise to wait a bit, and rerun the test, before doing any invasive tests, like biopsies. (A repeat of a psa needs to wait at least 4 weeks, or so we have read.) We have felt the prayers, and are a lot calmer, with a better emotional attitude in the last few days. We are not focused on the gloom and doom of what if it is.........but rather on; maybe the test is wrong, maybe it is some medication that he is on, etc.
Terry knew I was taking this whole thing pretty hard, so on his way home from work on Friday, he brought me flowers and a bottle of wine, which of course I shared!
Thank you all for the prayers. Hopefully we'll know a little more on Thursday. I'll probably post some more info on Friday.
