I also had pirad 3 MRI even though my tumor in the end was 3+4. If the biopsy shows a tumor that is what you should go by.

Given the extent of the tumor, you will likely want to treat it. Your next steps will likely be Decipher and/or Artera AI. A PSMA may not be necessary with a 3+4 (and probably not covered by insurance). Given your family history, I would also do a genetic test to check if you have BRCA or ATM mutations.

I did the Color/Promise Registry genetic testing (saliva test) and it found no hereditary cancer risks at all, the tests included ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2. Will talk with Mayo team, but seems like it's time to treat. It is what it is. Thanks for the feedback!
