Biopsy or not?

Curious if you have any other testing to support a diagnosis and biopsy? Did you have a DRE and they found a lesion or a 4Kblood score, a psma pet scan?
I was diagnosed with a PSA of 3.2 (age normal), DRE found a tumor, 4Kblood score predicted 34% chance of fast-moving cancer, then a confirming mri with contrast, then a biopsy which was positive followed by PSMA Pet scan looking for spread prior to removal. Now doing salvage radiation and ADT 26 months later.

My PSA has dropped to 1.87 now. I went in yesterday for a new PSA. My primary care ordered that. I’m now waiting for a focused biopsy, they can’t use my current MRI so they’re doing that again to conduct it. My DRE is negative the urine PSE test is slightly elevated

My goal is to get a biopsy as fast as possible which is taking a month or so and get a lid on this quickly. I have 1 cm lesion in transitional zone with a lot of weird conflicting info from multiple sources. I really want to stay ahead of this with action
