Don’t assume a negative biopsy is a guarantee of no cancer. I knew a gentleman who had an elevated PSA test, subsequent biopsy was negative. His doctor kept monitoring him over the course of the next 2 years with ever increasing PSA results and negative biopsies. When the biopsy finally resulted in a cancer diagnosis it was advanced. He lived a couple of more years, into his early 80s before the cancer took him. This gentleman knew something was wrong and trusted the biopsy results. A follow up with another doctor may have brought an earlier diagnosis and a better outcome? You need to be your own advocate, doctors are not perfect, they are also human.
