What can I expect after my biopsy?

ericp502 This report confirms an MRI Guideed Biopsy is superior to a standard Biopsy . i.e Going in blind and performing the old " OFTEN DESCRIBED PINCUSHION BIOPSY " or
" Swiss Cheese Biopsy " -- take lots of random sample cores and hope you hit something .
The latest and ONLY REAL TIME MRI BIOPSY IS " " An In - Bore or Gantry Biopsy . These are rare because of the equipmennt costs . Australia is even using A TESLA T 7 MRI Machine .
The most common worldwide is the Tesla 3T MRI which replaced the 1.5 .
I repeat : An MRI CANNOT CONFIRM OR GRADE PROSTATE CANCER -- ONLY A BIOPSY CAN .
I know Canadian report very well . I live in Canada - I personally know many of the top Urologists and Oncologists at The Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto - Ranked in the top 5 Research and Cancer Treatment Centers in the World . Also Sunnybrook in Toronnto where the TULSA-PRO Focal therapy was invented by Dr. Gupta , who I know and now practices in the USA . Dr. Laurence Klotz performs the TULSA- PRO at Sunnybrook and was on the original research team .
Sir , I respecctfully request you personally consult with several senior PROSTATE CANCER UROLOGISTS .
Ask the question " Can you determine for certain a patient has prostate cancer and it's grade ( Gleason Score ) from an MRI " ?
I look forward to their names and answer .

I’m doing exactly as you are suggesting so I really don’t know why you are pushing me to do something different.
I had an MRI done, I’m doing a targeted biopsy, I’m getting multiple opinions. I just haven’t read the book you are suggesting.

The biopsy report I have and was read by two radiologist say I have a high likelihood of a Gleason 7+ spot and PI-RADS 4. I understand that this is not 100% but it is more likely than not.
I uploaded the MRI images to Copilot and Grok AI and they both had the same analysis.
I’m hoping they are incorrect but it’s unlikely. My biopsy on Thursday with the MRI should be enough. I have scheduled a second opinion with Brown Cancer Center and I’m having the urologist doing the biopsy submit the samples to Mayo Clinic in Florida for another opinion.
