69 years old recent MRI DCE positive PR4

So an update - I did hear from my Urologist and they are setting up a biopsy next week (1st week of may).
His response was that he viewed the actual images and currently not overly concerned and felt I was 50/50 for cancer. He also indicated that I have a very enlarged prostate (4x) that accounts for the raised PSA levels. So he said that level PSA 7.8 aligns with a gland of that size. So if it is cancer it may be early IDK. I'm being hopeful but
vigilant. The biopsy is guided via the MRI data and an ultrasound device.
Many thanks to those who responded to reduce my anxiety 🙂

My urologist also believed that my 7.8 PSA aligned with the volume of my enlarged prostate My follow up MRI was clear. However my biopsy showed 2 cores of cancer, one at 3+4. I elected to have an RP. The post RP pathology report showed my cancer was actually at 4+5 and close to the capsule. So far my two follow up PSA blood tests show < 0.01. Praying for more of the same in the future. Bottom line, do everything possible to ensure your results are accurate and give you the information needed to make the best decision and give you some peace of mind. Best wishes!🙏🏻🤞
