PSA & MRI suspicious but biopsy benign

Posted by lyricw @lyricw, Oct 5, 2023

I am 66 & asymptomatic but PSA has been rising 2014-2,2, 2017-2.6, 2019-3.8, 2022–3.6, 2023-5.0 with 16% free. DRE negative & MRI revealed pirad 4 0.6 X 0.9 lesion of left posterior apex intracapsular & LN negative. 12 core grid biopsy & 1 core of lesion benign inflammation.

I definitely feel relieved, but wonder if there is any chance PC present. I will see doc & discuss future monitor.
