You didn’t have an MRI first? That eliminates the need for a biopsy if nothing is found. If it finds something that guides the biopsy to the important spots, since a biopsy only targets 1% of the prostate. You should find a center of excellence, your doctor didn’t follow the current standard of care.

I did have an MRI first, but it didn’t reveal anything suspicious. The biopsy, on the other hand, revealed cancer. I am very happy with the process my urologist used. If he had decided that the MRI was enough to determine there was no cancer, I could have ended up in a very bad place.
