@ezupcic They already have the MRI. What kind of biopsy was scheduled (fusion + transperineal or transrectal)? and is that what you want? Might have something to discuss if it is not or they cannot tell you. Consultation would just say you need a biopsy based on MRI results. After biopsy they will be able to discuss treatment options.
