So I went to my new Urologists and mentioned all the test you guys mentioned here and while he said those are good test none are as definitive as a biopsy. I know everyone tolerates pain different but on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the worst. How bad was it for you?

    Not bad at all. I've had 4 done over a period of 10 years. you can ask to be sedated.

    Well first of all before you do a biopsy get a 3T MRI first because in the case that you need a biopsy you can get a fusion biopsy which is vastly superior to a blind one.

      Agreed. Furthermore, insist that the scan is read by a radiologist specialising in prostates and not a general radiologist.
