artb: I am 88 years old and in good health. My PSA was 9.6 last october. DRE found a nodule. MRI showed a lesion with PIRADS score of 5.My Urologist said to wait couple of months. PSA went up to 13.0 in January 2024. Now my transperenial biopsy is scheduled for next week, March 5th at UCI.
I am very surprised your GP didn't refer you to a urologist earlier! but, no worries. Waiting will have not reduce out longevity or quality of life from what I read.
Good luck to you.

Good luck with your biopsy next week. You are right re my GP lax policy on this.

Nothing like a trans biopsy for a dose of humility 😊
