Going for Prostate Biopsy Tomorrow ….Looking for Opinions and Thoughts

Posted by indyguy @indyguy, Nov 18 11:05am

Hello,

I am going for a prostate biopsy tomorrow which I am dreading.
Here is a little background on me. I am 64yr in good physical condition. My PSA has always been high. When I first got it tested 9 years ago it was 5.65 in the years following it was 5.4 - 5.1 - 5.79.
All DRE were fine. Have had BPH for years. Had an MRI done and showed my prostate was a giant size of 171cc. Showed several benign nodules and one PIRADS 3 lesion 1.2 cm. Really don’t have any issues other than getting up 3x a night.

From what I have read with my results the my PSA density would be low which is a good thing. Just trying to find something positive before tomorrow lol. I have read for months about the prostate and it is very complicated. Anyone had a similar experience like me.
What are the odds that the lesion and PSA is all from BPH ?
I live in Indianapolis by the way.

Thanks

Thanks for your nice message.

Sounds like you have a good plan for your situation. Hopefully you can wait a while and maybe the next biopsy, if you have one will be clear.
Seems like the results can bounce all over. Sorry you are in that position.
Definitely sending good thoughts to you.

Keep me updated and I hope you have a good holiday.
