Agreed on several fronts and thank you, my primary care Doctors want to do more imaging and follow my PSA. My urologist did a follow up urine bio test that was suspicious. On the basis of the urine test coming back Ww are doing the biopsy. My number 1 concern is failing to follow up, having something and it spread before we can kill it. I understand how slow prostate cancer is but a couple of friends have died from it. Many others have survived it. It’s crazy how many people I know have it. I think the odds are it’s nothing. I’m hoping for the best and expecting the worst. I’ve had so many past prostate problems I’ve kind of been waiting for this thing. I’ve had severe prostatitis, BPH with symptoms, and two infections since 52, I’m now 64 and in excellent health.
Thank you again

I have had friends die of prostate cancer as well.
My Mayo urologist told me the same thing most others hear. "You will die of something else not prostate cancer." I did not like that as wanted my cancer treated.
I see many on MCC saying their cancer spread outside of prostate. Thus getting tested and treated as early as possible I think is major importance.
I was also told if a man lives long enough he will have prostate cancer. What I see a lot is the cancer is at cellular level not tumors. And what they see on Gleason Score is difference in normal cells from cancer cells.
That biopsy will give you a Gleason Score and that is really going to help you and your doctors know if you have it and if so treatment options.
