Tough decision

[twoodogs]

I've been on AS for 5 years with Moffit had 3 biopsy's all gleason 6 except a second opinion on my first one 2 cores where changed to a 7. PSA has bounced around but highest was 6.43 this April last week 5.13. Because of my recent MRI shows growth on the lesion and possible extracasular extension. So I have made the decision to get treatment. Was leaning towards SBRT. I took suggestions from the group as to one of the most experienced RO with cyperknive. I had zoom with both RO's this week. Cyperknive RO is pretty much ready to start treatment placing markers etc. but Moffit wants another biopsy first and than proceed. I really don't want another biopsy and when discussing the results of my MRI my understanding was I would only need a biopsy to stay on AS. Are they being over cautious?

If you are committed to getting treatment, there is no reason for a biopsy - only follow your RO's instructions.
