What to expect PSA number 4.7? 72 yr old

The radiologist who read my first MRI in 2022 missed my lesion. I walked around for two years with this cancer inside me until another MRI in 2024 and a different radiologist saw it as PIRAD-5. Hard lesson learned. Don't trust these people. If your intuition tells you something is not right (and mine did).........and I let my urologist talk me out of it...........seek second opinions or third opinions if necessary. Fact is it costs you little as most insurance plans pay for such opinions. And seek the centers of excellence for those opinions. I will be exploring malpractice options this winter.

On 2nd and 3rd opinions .
My 1st -- 5 Core Transperineal MRI Fusion Biopsy came back negative . This was in direct conflict ( 98 % of the time ) with my MRI PI-RADS 5 . My 2nd - 15 Core biopsy came back 6 Cores in the target zone Gleason 2 +3 = 6 I had a 2nd opinion , all 6 came back Gleason 3 +4 =7
A 3rd opinion came back - 4 were Gleason 6 and 2 were Gleason 7 . Now I have :
Negative , G6 , G7 & MOST G6 with some ( 2 ) G7 . GO FIGURE ' And these were supposed to be top pathologists at major research & teaching hospitals .
Let's not forget " A prostate biopsy is one of the more difficult , or the most difficult , too analyzise ." As they say : Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ,
