@cole5055 I agree with you, Cole. My husband had a biopsy (not targeted, unfortunately) and it seemed that things went badly after that. We were assured by his urologist that we had caught it in time and there was no rush. Wrong. Within 6 months, PSA had gone up considerably and it had metastasized.

@gkgdawg Also, he ended up with sepsis and was in hospital for 5 days.

Yes, I understand sometimes sticking needles into prostate cancer is not good! common sense tells us this, it’s just frustrating we still use this barbaric 60 year old technology despite all our advancements in medical technology?
When I had the random biopsy my PSA jumped from 8 to 15.1 in a few months. This is why if you’re going to biopsy anything we need a specific target! Not stabbing the prostate with a blind fold on it makes absolutely no sense! Hoping we hit something and possibly spreading the disease?
The Doctors are so used to doing things as usual. I think if they were the ones on the other end of the needle they would have an entirely different perspective…………. I hope things turn for the better for your Husband Godspeed 🙏
