May I suggest you call the helpline at the Prostate Cancer Research Institute in Culver City CA? I believe that they can help you navigate this. https://pcri.org/
I guess my experience was that I went in for a routine exam due to urge to pee. I have had PSA tests for years with my yearly physical. I am surprised you have not. My urologists' said my prostate was slightly elongated . He said we can do all sorts of other testing but confirm cancer without a biopsy. Lets just do one and see whats going on. My PSA was 1.2. So based on that I would say why not do the biopsy? Seems if the MRI shows anything they will do one anyway. Otherwise how can they confirm cancer. I would say after confirming with biopsy then maybe a MRI and PET scan to determine your next move.
