So true. The biopsy is not pleasant but it is a good, the best?, way to confirm mri scan. It should give a better idea of size, location, stage etc of what is there. For information, I went for robotic removal, partly due to my age (72) and I found the waiting a bit stressful.
My Psa level went down between tests but that by itself is not that helpful, Constant surveillance was an option, but I chose not to. A cancer can grow without warning and I was lucky with size, stage and location. I preferred to remove the risk and the waiting but that was a personal choice ably backed up with family support. I am waiting for my post op meeting with my consultant. Removal does not necessarily I am 100% clear.
Every one is different and be happy with your choice.
