PSA & MRI suspicious but biopsy benign

Read your other post to get more background info.
From what you’ve indicated NONE of your 13 core samples came back with 3+3 Gleason, even those targeting your PIRAD 4 lesions, correct?
Were all 13 cores “benign”?
Sometimes a core will come back “suspicious” or HGPIN, but not cancer.

On page one, all my 13 diagnosis show 'Benign prostatic tissue'.
Page two is a diagram showing where the needle went in.
Page 3, relists the 13 diagnosis, and each line with a column of 'cores'. Some diagnosis shows 2; some with 3; some with 1. I added them up, there are total 26.
There are no other words on the pathology report. It is as if the pathologist did not actually do any work, just rubber stamped using a 'SAMPLE' report.
I am meeting with my Urologist tomorrow to go over this. I will ask him about the report.

All BX sites came back benign except core pirad 4 area& it was focal atrophy with inflammation. I just did 6 month PSA & it fell from 5.0 to 4.1. Urologist email message “PSA stable. I suppose I will get another PSA in 6 month via internist yearly checkup.
