Hello - I have an update - Since previous prodding my urologist has been going quickly. I have now completed the scan and the biopsy was last week. Received the results today of 14 cores. The2 lesion cores came back 3+4,
6 Cores 3+3, 5 cores 3+4, and one 4+3. A decipher test was requested but have not seen that yet. So I now have a PET scan scheduled to check out lymph nodes etc. Very apprehensive about this result. Those that have responded are greatly appreciated.

An additional question - I have previously been a patient at Mayo Rochester for other issues and wonder if that will help me get seen for the PCa?

Thanks

PET as in PSMA PET scan? That is important. From you description, only the PSMA PET has the sensitivity to pick up the 7mm lesion. It is not hard to deal with. But it can become a problem later. The low Gleason score can be misleading.
Dont mind me. I am only a layman trying to make some sense of the whole thing.

jck6455, you can just ask the Doctor you saw previously to refer you to the Mayo urology department in Rochester. I did this through the message center on the Mayo portal and had an initial appointment with urology the following week.

Good luck!
