In June, last year (2010), although I was not due for my annual medical examination until July 29 that year.
I decided to have the check-up a month in advance, as I was not comfortable with the constant rise of the PSA.’

The result of the medical exam revealed that the PSA was still rising; hence possibilities of cancer could no longer be ruled out.
The doctor ordered a biopsy, which revealed prostate cancer that was rather aggressive in its progression.
