Hi just had a PSA test which come back 3.5 normal but doctor is sending me for a multiparametric mri and see the specialist at hospital because he said when he felt my prostate the grove was not there it felt congealed or something like that but now really worried.

    Understandable worry. Waiting for test results is always difficult. However, it will all be good information. Better to know than not know.

    john,

    I would say your Doctor guiding you in thr right direction. I had a Urologist tell me I didn't have cancer with PSA of 4.25. No DRE, no nothing just sent me on my way. I find out later after my PSA kept going up I was diagnosed with PSa.

    Hope you are just fine! But its best to follow Docs orders.

      John,

      I would get the multiparametric mri. And hold off on a biopsy. With PCA you have time to explore all for a finally diagnosis.

      Time is on your side. So relax and take one step at a time.
