Prostate. Reading on red-line?

Apart from a bad back, I've been pretty lucky healthwise...till now. I manage my own blood checks as best I can while in Texas, just cos of the cost, but now I have some serious decisions to make.

Peeing has been tedious for several years now, but not critical. Indeed not as bad as several of my contemporaries, however, my last blood check showed a PSA of 8.5, where the Reference is Zero - 4.0 NG / ML.

I realise that this can mean non-malignant or malignant disease of the prostate, but does anyone know if this reading is on red-line?
