MRI Results

I had completely clear MRI with no lesions or suspicious areas uncovered. My urologist did a Free PSA blood test that suggested up to a 50% chance of prostate cancer cells present. He then suggested a biopcy which uncovered two positive cores - 3=4 = 7 (intermediate low risk) and 4 +3 = 7 (intermediate higher risk).

This was followed by a four pronged RO led treatment plan:

- SpaceOAR + gold marker placement (to protect rectum)
- 6 months Orgovyx ADT pills
- 25 daily IMRT radiation treatments
- 1 outpatient high dose brachytherapy "boost"

Now 9 months post treatment I am blessed to report my PSA at .1 and I have virtually no incontinence, impotence, bleeding, frequent urination). Needless to say, I am glad I chose the treatment plan I did and not surgery

Similar situation as you with negative MRI. What was your PSA? I am surprised that you were able to get a biopsy on free pSA test results. Its good you did obviously. My PSA was around 2 and with negative MRi , I had to offer to pay to get a biopsy here in San Diego.
