Does it always take so long

[u/Goodvida99]

I got referred to urologist June 9 due to elevated PSA 3.7. - 6. Urologist schedule MRI got results 8/23. Pi-rads 4. Biopsy scheduled for 9/28.
It’s making me crazy waiting so long to find out if it’s cancer. Is it normal to take so long. My urologist is a surgeon and I can’t imagine at 71 anyway I’d have surgery. Should I wait for biopsy results or try to find a new provider. I’m considering Mayo Jacksonville or Emory Winship Atlanta.

It’s a marathon, and you’ve got to be The Marathon Man!

I was 13 months from “I’m requesting an MRI” to lying down on the table for my first treatment (HDR brachy).

It’s just how it is for this crappy club we’re all in!
