@gefears42, I know that seeing any abnormality on an MRI is scary. Naturally, fellow patients can't guess at the chances that your lesion may or may not be cancer. Your doctor likely doesn't know either. That's why the biopsy has been ordered. I know you know that. But when faced with the unknown, we look for reassurance. I get that.

The reassurance I can confidently give you is that your doctor is doing the right thing by ordering a biopsy. Feb 16 seems like a long way away when you just want to know. But in the grand scheme of things, it's only 2 weeks. The lesion is highly unlikely to change with any significance in that time.

Your job now is to take care of yourself. Sleep and eat well. And get informed about what to expect for the biopsy. Here's an article from Mayo Clinic
- Prostate Cancer Biopsy https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/prostate-biopsy/about/pac-20384734

And two discussion where men who have had a prostate cancer biopsy share their experiences and tips:
- Anyone have an Ultrasound-Guided Transperineal Prostate Biopsy? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/anyone-have-an-ultrasound-guided-transperineal-prostate-biopsy/
- Prostate transrectal biopsy https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/prostate-transrectal-biopsy/

i'm tagging @dandl48 @bodeygolfer @roger15 @kingsnake @stebro @rockin2047 @hammer101 @willidf72 @dale1k and others to join this discussion and to offer thoughts about how to prepare.

@gefears42, do you know what type of biopsy has been ordered for you? Do you have questions?
