Welcome @sanabuju82. Rising PSA levels can be alarming. It may or may not be cancer. It's good that this is being followed and that you are having a biopsy.

Your question is a common one. So I moved your post to this existing discussion:
- High PSA Levels: What is the cause?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/high-psa-levels/

I did this so you can read previous helpful posts and connect easily with members like @harley52 @legendts @jenatsky @kw070707 @rfherald and others.

Here's an article from Mayo Clinic about what to expect for the biopsy.
– 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/

When will you have the biopsy? Do you know which kind?
