I am not so worry about BHP but lots of reports of 'first biopsy negative' with repeated ones that find out cancer is something I need to watch for. My doctor said they will do genomic screen on the...

Update after 6 months... January I had 5.98 PSA and doctor also tested PHI which is 33.8%. He thought I am in 'low risk' group as PHI tells him that biopsy will only have 24% chance to be positive....
