As noted by otheers , purchase Dr. Patrick Walsh's book " Guide to Surviving Prostate Cancer " and educate yourself before rushing into a treatment you will REGRET LATER .
If you are getting a Biopsy : insist on a TRANSPERINEAL MRI Fusion Biopsy -- NOT A " Transrectal " for obvious reasons . Reduced infection ( sepsis ) risk .
Transrectal Biopsies are illegal in certain countries , Norway as one example . Transperineal is big worldwide , a little slower in the USA but I read about Urologists in the USA refusing to perform the Transrectal .
Finally. When you get your biopsy results get a 2nd or even a 3rd opinion of your Gleason Score . It will determine your treatment optionns .

Good and helpful information.
There will be a lot of discussion about how biopsies will be done. I insisted mine be done Transperineally with MRI/Fusion.

I completely agree with getting the second opinions. I got three (3) different opinions.
