My husband is also having a biopsy today although we don’t yet know what the MRI results were - just that it has been reviewed and they suggested the biopsy- complicated by having to stop blood thinners for 10 days so it’s been a 13 day wait since the phone call. Hope it all goes well and you get results quickly- praying we do too as the stress of waiting has been awful- his PSA was 7 and he’s 68 - how about you? xx
Hi Michael, well at least that bit is done for you both now - he had 27 samples from 3 areas as we were told his MRI was a PIRAD 5 score and there’s a 20mm lesion showing on MRI and prostate is 90gram - was only 50 in 2023 when he had a scan for blood in urine (although that was all clear). His PSA was 7 a month ago.
results 2-3 weeks but I’m expecting it to be positive and now reading up on treatment options- might be limited as he has stable Atrial Fibrillation and had a couple of stents 5 years ago due to a blocked artery so don’t know if that limits options.
