Your numbers sound a lot like mine. I'm 79, had MRT guided biopsy in early 2025; scheduled for another in February 2026 after another MRI with contrast. 2 samples, 3+3 and 3+4, all others negative. PSA was 7.97 prior to MRI and biopsy but 4.46 in April 2025. Go figure. I've been on active surveillance this year. I had a transperineal biopsy and will stick with it (no pun intended) for the 2nd one. From what I've read, there are several advantages to the transperineal approach. Good luck!

Tommy. Thanks.

How was your transperineal biopsy experience.

I read you just have a local anesthetic and not asleep?
How was residual pain etc?

I had no issues with my transrectal biopsy in February 2025
