dear wellnes100, my PIRAD is 2.

that's probably why you confuse my MRI PIRAD 2, with Greg52's PIRAD 5)

Ooops. Sorry. You are right. You would not need biopsy for PIRAD2. There are awful stories where men went through more than one biopsy and not find anything. PSMA PET scan would be more beneficial, if only to be sure.
As for Greg52, there seems to be no reason for him to wait 4 weeks for biopsy. All the uncertainty is not necessary. He should get going right away.
Dont mind me. I am just another layman trying to make some sense of the whole thing.
