Hi, your experience and advice would be appreciated please!
my husband (he’s 61) had raised psa after a recent health check, he was tested again after 4 weeks and as it was higher again, referred to urologist, who sent him for MRI scan. This showed the prostate to be twice normal size and the urologist said showed ‘areas of concern’ so 4 days later he had a trans perineal biopsy and we now await the results.
I cope with things by devouring all of the information I can and like to be ‘prepared’ and although we are talking about it, my husband prefers not to waste a worry until we have all the facts (I am pleased he is able to do that) but I wish he had asked the urologist what he meant by ‘areas of concern’.
my question is, is an MRI an indication of definite cancer and the biopsy just to show the type, growth rate and likely spread,….or could the raised psa, enlarged prostate and ‘areas of concern’ all be non cancerous?
thanks
Debbie
