@ezupcic #3 pirads

@ezupcic my mri in march was a pirads 3, then in October a pirads 2. no focal lesions but psa still fluctuating and elevated at 7.1 and prostate volume decreased from 95ml to 70 ml. My urologist offered a standard 12 core transrectal biopsy but said there would be nothing to target so we agreed to wait and continue with psa monitoring. Yes it’s nerve racking but I work on my diet, exercise, keeping my weight low and staying positive and if the numbers change then reevaluate.
