The advantage of the Transperineal Is that there’s a slightly lower chance of infection and they can get to more of the prostate.
I might want to find out more about what’s going on sooner. That is a very long wait, though prostate cancer does usually grow very slowly. If you must wait that long, you could ask about having ADT, Not the most fun, but can stop the cancer from growing and spreading.
Just bringing these up as possibilities not something you really have to do.

@jeffmarc it is a long wait but I'm concerned that if I have the standard untargeted 12 core biopsy I might not get the most accurate read on my lesions. And in order to get the MRI Fusion I have to first establish care with a clinic that is connected to a University Hospital which is the cause of the delay. So I'm hoping that during this time my Pirads 5 lesion doesn't escape my Prostate! The radiologist characterized it as "threatening EPE"........
