Hm…
My PSA was over 6.
Urologist did an MRI that showed a tumor.
Urologist did a biopsy that showed cancer.
Urologist did a PSMA PET scan to show details.
Went on an androgen-deprivation medication.
Underwent 28 proton radiation therapy treatments.
My PSA is now 0.03.
Anyway, the MRI in my case came BEFORE the biopsy, so not sure what the author is talking about.
Did insurance pay for the MRI? I doubt if mine would.
,,, had a CT scan, one MRI, a PET scan, a biopsy and another CT scan. Then 39 days of radiotherapy. Apparently the average prostate weighs around 40g. Mine was 85g. I would have had this for years. My oncologist told me last week that the latest blood test result came up undetectable. When I was getting radiotherapy I was talking with guys who had treatment spans of 20 - 25 days. I saw a few of them start and finish during my treatment time. Apart from the biopsy the process was brilliant... wonderful staff and amazing machines.

I had an MRI follow up to a kidney problem. It showed a prostate tumor. My blood showed a PSA of 270! Everyone thought I was done for. I had the biopsy and then was also put through radiation and testosterone deprivation shots. My PSA is now 0.04 and the doctors are saying I am a very rare case. Phew!
