Possible cancer? I’m so scared

The only way to know whether or not you have prostate cancer is by biospy of the tissue. Remember, good chance you have nothing and if you do it sounds like low grade. There are 29 different treatment options and just keep up with your checkups and get a blood test completed in genomic testing. Cover all angles and always get second opinion.

Good luck and god bless.

Ok thanks everyone for the replies.  I wanted to add what my MRI report says:

"MRI Findings

The prostate gland is normal in size, measuring 3.68 x 2.8 x 3.77 cm (TS x AP x CC) with a calculated volume of 20.3 cc.

Wedge shape T2 hypointensities are noted in bilateral postero-medial peripheral zones at mid-gland and at the postereomedial and posterolateral peripheral zone of left apex. These have indistinct hypointense signals in ADC and do not exhibit early arterial enhancement on dynamic contrast study. Findings are of low suspicion. PI-RADS 2 (clinically significant cancer is unlikely to be present).

The  neurovascular bundles at both sides appear symmetrical. Seminal vesicles are normal and symmetrical. The rectoprostatic angles at both sides are not obliterated and the anorectum canal is normal.

No definite pelvic nodal enlargement seen.

No discernable signal change seen in visualized pubic bones."

And in the comments section it says:

"Wedge shape T2 hypointensities in bilateral postero-medial peripheral zones at mid-gland and at the posteromedial and posterolateral peripheral zones of the left apex. These have indistinct hypointense signals on ADC and do not exhibit early arterial enhancement on dynamic contrast study. Findings are of low suspicion , PIRADS 2 (clinically significant cancer is unlikely to be present). However microscopic disease cannot be excluded. Biopsy is recommended if it is clinically inidicated."

So I'm not really sure what all that means, but it doesnt seem too bad??

 

I know how scary the words prostate cancer can be.  It really does not look like your stats are that bad.  Even though rectal exams do not always detect tumors, (nine didn't but I did have one) your other test all came back looking pretty good.  Maybe you should find out if there could be something else causing your hypointensity signal.  No need to worry if there is nothing to worry about.  You really don't want to get a biopsy if you don't really need one.  I would trust your doctor on this one.

Ok got biopsy results back. No cancer was found but they did find atypical small acinar proliferation (ASAP).  From what I’m reading it basically means I have a 40-50% chance on a re-biopsy to find cancer.  

Sigh, now what?
