You mentioned that your Urologist took 12 cores, six from each side. This sounds like a random grid biopsy, although you mentioned that you had an MRI. Did the MRI identify any PIRADS lesions? Typically the biopsy will take a few extra cores from any identified lesions in addition to the random grid cores.

@wheel1 Yes, the MRI showed one lesion PIRAD 5, all of the cancerous cores came from this lesion.
