Biopsy v non-Biopsy: Can you be diagnosed without a biopsy?

Exactly! Mine is the same. They are not concern with emotional, mental, financial issues - only scientific results. I appreciate that but I am the one dealing with the fallout! At 62 I will die from “other” stuff before PC. My doctor at UF Health acted insulted because I would not subject myself to a prostate biopsy and then a removal or “scooping out”. Before he left the room he said “I am a surgeon and treat people with surgery” and he warned me that herbal approaches will badly affect my liver.
At the end of the day I am concerned with quality of life not trying to live to be 116.5 years old. I will die with a hard on! Damnit! lol. Peace

One of The first things prostate cancer does is go to the bones. Prostate cancer is so painful if untreated, It’s an unrelenting pain. There’s nothing you can do to be without it. You really think you will have quality of life, going through the pain once it starts with prostate cancer.
You can always pick radiation, Minimal side effects.
Do you think once the pain starts your emotional health will be great? Don’t expect to die of something else, Unless your disability is so bad you only have a couple years left.
At 62 you should live to at least 76, I have made it from 62 to 78 with PC. My emotional and mental health are just fine, i’ve had surgery and radiation and multiple different drugs. If you met me, you would have no idea I have prostate cancer.
