Hi, everybody!
I'm happy to have found you all :-)
I won't take up much of your time, but I did want to introduce myself.
I am a 61 year old guy, who had a very mildly raised PSA result. Despite being just over the recommended limit, my GP insisted that I saw a consultant. After a DRE, during which the consultant felt "a nodule", I had an MRI the result of which is a couple of PIRADS 5 lesions contained within the right lobe of the prostate. So, a trans-perineal biopsy awaits on 10 September.
It's extraordinary that I've gone from not really knowing where the prostate was, to now paying so much attention to it :-)

Hello Adam (AdamM)
A warm welcome to the Macmillan online Community. You are just about to embark on a journey, the hardest part of which is waiting to find the route that you will take.
As Alpine Wanderer said above, the biopsy results are the critical part of your route planning. I wish you well on 10 September - come back and do let us know how you got on. In the interim if you do have any questions, however trivial they may be please feel free to ask.
Best wishes - Brian.
