Good morning patsy and welcome to the site.
Two weeks or so is around standard I think.
Your GP is now playing catchup. It seems that so many of them use age as a baseline for deciding whether to investigate. Probably thinking of their budgets.
Did the GP do a rectal exam and if so what was the comment made on that. As Devonmaid says a PSA will help members when they are advising so if you could find that out and post it would be useful.
As far as the pain from the biopsy is concerned there isn't a lot apart from painkillers. Make sure the other half drinks plenty of non alcoholic fluid and watch for signs of infection, even though you now have antibiotics.
His urine and semen probably have blood in them and that can last for several weeks but is usual so don't worry about that, or the bruising either. They will eventually disappear.
Anyway, try and stay calm the pair of you. No point in wasting energy at this stage. IF the results show PC then you are in the right place for support and advice so ask whatever you want to know.
I've no doubt that when your husband goes for the results you will be with him, but take a notebook and pen and try and write down relevant info. Ask for it to be repeated and explained if it doesn't make sense.
This is an important time of your life if you have to make treatment decisions so take as much control as you need to at the meeting. You could ask this site for a copy (or download it) of The Toolkit. It would be better than surfing the web at any rate and it might help you have the knowledge gained from it to form questions to ask, It's under Publications
Best Wishes

Thank you so much for replying, I will find out his psa and let you know. He is still in a lot of pain only started the antibiotics on Monday so will have to wait for them to start to work. I have a feeling his psa was 5 something but I will check. Thanks again Pat
