Is this too long to wait for a biopsy?

Is there some reason you are not considering getting a fusion guided transperennial biopsy? That biopsy can reach more of your prostate than transrectal biopsy and it has a lower chance of infection. You might ask about that.

Waiting is usually not that critical. If you have widespread prostate cancer in your body and a very high Gleason score, it could make a difference, But normally prostate cancer is very slow growing.
