Unfortunately w/o doing a biopsy I don't believe there is any way to determine of one has PCa or not. I had a standard biopsy but was put under for it. Not sure what they do for a Fusion biopsy. I too am from Michigan and was treated by MIU. It is good your Dad is getting the biopsy so soon. I had to wait 2 months for mine. If it is PCa and hopefully its not your Dad will have multiple options with the 2 most likely being RALP surgery or Radiation. I chose the former as I was 60 when operated on with no other health issues. I had no complications from surgery to date with pain or incontinence. But as someone else replied don't get too far ahead of yourselves as there is a good chance it may not be PCa. If you want you can talk to his Urologist and ask how many RALPs he has performed just in case.

It’s a relief to have someone post that they have had no complications with pain or incontinence. I just got my biopsy results back last week - 6 Gleason - am 61 with no other health issues and considering the RALP option. Your post was very encouraging. Thank you
