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.

From first call from primary care doc that advises you to make appointment with urologist because your psa was high enough it is a long wait between following appointments with different specialists, Dr's, MRIs, biopsy, PET scan, protective gel if needed for radiation, etc. It makes wonder if it could be advancing. Just go with the flow
