Has Prostate Cancer, PSA Increased. On Hormone Therapy And Radiation. Done Blood Test. What Is Wrong?

Thank you for being there. We are beside ourselves. My son-in law has prostrate cancer; 2009 he had a prostectomy, 2011 radiation, and now his PSA has doubled (1.3 > 2), Gleason of 9. Before he has any more surgery, radiation, or hormone therapy - we'd like to rule out any fungal issues. Is there a doctor any where in West Michigan that understands the antifungal issues that impact prostate cancer? My son-in-law is active, healthy, wife and 3 beautiful children (13, 15, 17). Could the last blood test have been "wrong"?
