As I had mentioned earlier, had the targetted biopsy Tuesday afternoon --
guided ultrasound , part of a test.

It wasn't fun, but I had absolutely no discomfort during the process, and so
far, none after.
They found two spots targetted for biopsy and gave me 50/50 odds.
As I had mentioned earlier, they also did the standard sextent biopsy.
So now I wait.
With a PSA of 2.8, I'm hoping for early discovery, if anything is found.

One way or another, I'm preparing to get s second opinon from Epstein at
Johns Hopkins.

Thanks to everyone for their comments.

Ed
