First PSA test and got PSA Free % of 25

Hi. I Just had my frist PSA screening done and got borderline results:

PSA: 0.4

PSA Free: 0.1

PSA Free%: 25.

Any thoughts on how concerned I should be about the PSA Free% of 25? A little bit of reading tells me PSA Free can be an important indicator of cancer risk and I'm right at the level considered low. Looks like there are some more aggressive forms of cancer that can have a profile with low PSA and low PSA Free so am a little nervous. Thanks for any thoughts or advice. I am 53 years old and otherwise healthy as far as I know

That isn't borderline, that is great! % free PSA is not valid for PSA that low.
