Sorry, just caught an error in my post. Should have said fusion guided BIOPSY. .
@gefears42 You have great advice from @jimcinak. My husband had prostrate cancer, diagnosed in 2003 and surgery in 2004. He researched a lot prior to choosing where to go and what he needed to ask. We live about 55 miles north of Boston and interestingly when we went to a local urologist, at the end of the appointment he said: "of course you are going to Boston for a second opinion I hope!".
We did go to Boston (Mass General) and they were amazing. We were waiting in an office and THREE doctors came in! One was a radiologist, one was a surgeon, and the third was an outcomes specialist. The appointment was fairly long as each talked to us. My husband took the surgical option and all has gone well. If you are concerned I hope you too go to an excellent medical center. It can be well worth the attention you get there.
