I Ldo dragged my feet on the biopsy for a year. I thought a PSA flyctuating around 4 and a couple of time 3-ish did not warrant urgency. On top, the second opion in my MRI suggested pirads 2. Big mistake but hopefully not too consequential. Gleason was 4+4 in two cores and half of cores positive, mostly with 3+3.
You sound more like a veteran, so I thought you might have been in this longer.
Why did you choose RT over RPin the end? I am probBly doing RP, but I am only 52.

I’ve had 3 PSA tests all downward trending but still elevated and a MRI PIRADS 3 with no focal lesions. I’ll do another PSA in 2 months and another MRI in 4 months. I hope this approach makes sense but in the back of my mind I feel like you in that I may be just dragging my feet on the biopsy.

I couldn’t really see myself tied to a pissbag for possibly the rest of my life. Also, from what I read, most men with a radical prostatectomy still have to experience EBRT. My choices had to do with the reality of the tumor, as well as personal lifestyle choices. And a lot of googling and reading studies, seeking opinions of other men afflicted by this condition
