Your timing for the MRI and biopsy is so soon that it really isn’t an issue. Prostate cancer is relatively slow growing and your being sick could’ve affected your PSA. Your doctor was getting a little anxious Considering how quickly you can get an MRI.

You should definitely get genetic testing. I got PC at 62 because I have BRCA2. My brother got it at 77 because he didn’t, but he had a father with PC. My father died of it at 88 but he did not have BRCA. I got it from my mothers side of the family. Both of her sisters had breast cancer. One died of it and So did her daughter at 60. My mother never got it, but passed on the BRCA2 to me.

Has hereditary genetic testing been offered to you by a doctor? You can get it done free with the below link, if you live in the United States. Do not check the box that you want your doctor involved or they won’t send you the kit until they get in contact with your doctor. It takes about three weeks to get the results and then a genetic counselor will call you.
