Well, dad received an unexpected call from the Urologist today! We were told it would be a two week wait for results for the TRUS biopsy.
All clear. He said there was nothing in any of the samples (I believe 20 were taken) including the suspicious area shown on the MRI. They took samples from both sides. The report states nodular hyperplasia and mild prostatitis.
He has said they will repeat PSA in 12 months but dad is going to do that in 6.
I am hoping that since the MRI was performed beforehand; there is little chance these results are false negatives and the rise in PSA is due to the prostatitis.
Great news but very bizarre given his age and family history. Still, I’ll take it!
On a side note, does anyone know what p40 is? The lab report says p40 positive, AMARCK negative. Can’t find much online as to what that actually means
