The "total" count was intended to include everything, despite the initial post saying "Total Nuts"

PSA is only a guide?
As explained to me, PSA is just a test of general prostate health. It doesn't detect cancer specifically.

A raised score doesn't necessarily indicate cancer, just that something is amiss that needs further investigation
