New and Need Guidance: What questions to ask about prostate cancer?

We're still continuing with doctor visits to decide on results of the MRI. There's still no clear answer somehow and the doctor is pushing back on the request from us to have ANOTHER MRI be performed. He is saying that the insurance won't even cover it.
On top of that he continues giving us ridiculous looks everytime that we bring up on transperineal biopsies, and defends transrectal.
Very strange.

He is pushing trans rectal because he does not do transperineal and won't get paid. Google info on the advantages of transperineal. Less chance of infection and it is top to bottom of the prostate so it covers the whole gland while the transrectal is front to back and may miss areas due to bone in the way. He is probably correct about insurance not paying for a 2nd MRI. Don't back down find a doctor who will do a MRI fusion transperineal biopsy. Remember you ARE THE CUSTOMER and the doctors are providing a service. Research and studies are readily available on the net to answer your questions.
