This was a perineal biopsy. Just before they put me out for the procedure he said they were going to do 20 - 25 cores so no clue why they decided to change that plan. Im just not willing to take a chance on Gleason 6 active surveillance with a single needle core in the area the MRI said was a Gleason 7+.

If you can get that PSE test that would really do the job like @survivor5280 mentioned. There are other tests like it (ArteraAI) that your doctor may prefer, That would be better than getting nothing. since you are truly in a quandary.
