Hi @pilotdave, when starting out with a prostate cancer diagnosis, the terms and short forms can be a steep learning curve. For that reason, the guys here compiled this list of commonly used acronyms that you might find useful.

How did the biopsy go? Have you had a chance to talk about treatment options with your cancer team yet?
