Hello and thank you for posting.
I am sorry that you are worried about your prostate biopsy, but it is the best way for doctors to get the information they need.
Tests for prostate cancer often involve blood tests, scans, and a biopsy to help diagnose and know exactly what treatment may need to be given.
Others who have been in your position may come forward with their experience, which may help you, but do remember their situations are individual to them.
Take care and do get back to us if you need any more information or support. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9 am till 5 pm, Monday to Friday.
