I would think the level 2 PSA test with the free

percentage would be the SOP for the next step. Also

the Urology doctor should be very well versed in the

ultrasound viewing and results. This is primarily to

get a size and shape for the prostate and to guide

biopsy needle placement from what the doc told me. I

suppose if the tumor/s are big enough they might show

up? I'm sure no expert, and hope I don't have to ever

be, but if I were you I think I'd look around for a

clinic or hospital that I was more comfortable with.

There should be no doubt in your mind that these

people know what they're doing. But you are catching

this pretty early which could be a life saver.
