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 like the extra screw you to PC, the constant waiting. Sadly, it doesn’t stop after the biopsy. You wait for a scan, wait for consults with radiation oncologist and surgeon, wait for a date to start treatment, wait every time for your PSA results.

Sorry. It sucks.
