@jeffmarc that’s my thinking also. A biopsy without an mri is mostly useless. They did that with me around 10 years ago. They sample kind of I call Willy nilly. Then told me we didn’t find cancer but that doesn’t mean you don’t have cancer. PSA was rising a little every year. Then no blood test for a couple years. Dr was doing my yearly bloodwork. I said don’t you think a PSA is in order. She said ok we will add that. Came back 6.7. MRI then prostatectomy in March 2026. Probably had cancer working for 8 years.
