bought your book. really good book. very similar journey as you and been putting off the rising PSA biopsy. Being half macrobiotic cut off all grains and beans 5 days ago, noticeable calmer and my teeth don't clatter any more. Will reintroduce properly later.
QUESTION: Do you know or have you heard of any way to detect prostate cancer without poking holes in it with a biopsy. I'm 55 with borderline 4.5 PSA but my urologist scares me with the usual arguments. hoping to lower my PSA now. I remember reading Dirk benedicts Kamikaze Cowboy book years ago about detecting cancer with a picture. I am very healthy but would follow stricter regimen if I had cancer which I doubt. You would think they would have a better detection method than damaging it with needle pokes (my urologist at Kaiser says it does no damage but that didn't pass the smell test to me even before my researching it). I know guided MRI is getting close but still requires limited biopsy. Anyhow, great book. Thanks.
