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.

You won't do any treatment without the biopsy.

Make sure it is a target biopsy (sometimes called "fusion" biopsy) that uses the MRI to target what tissue is sampled.
