Thanks for the information, yes it is really stressful and still haven't heard from anyone. Now since I look at report better I do see 2 that were cribriform, I was too focused on all those lines and gleason score as well as grade groups.
Several years ago on annual wellness I went from normal PSA of 2 (which I had forever) to a PSA of 3.6 in one year. My PCP for wellness said no big deal it still under 4. Think I should have listen to my gut back then think that was too big of a jump for a year.
This year I had a jump to 5.26 and a month later back to 4.16, but still I bypassed PCP and went to urologist.

@diverjer PSA under “4” is generally a good rule to follow, and will have more good outcomes than bad. But, as for any general rule, there are sometimes exceptions.
Use this delay as an opportunity to gain more knowledge.
This evening at 7:00PM (ET) there’s a weekly prostate cancer support group meeting at: http://tinyurl.com/pc-warriors
There’s a wealth of knowledge and experience there. Join in, ask questions if you want to, or just listen to others’ stories. I think you’ll learn a lot.
