Are you looking for a prostate cancer diagnosis? The MRI guided was what finally found mine after nearly four years of ultrasounds and blood tests.

Yeah, that show really strikes a chord when you’re trying to get a diagnosis. I still style my annual [birthday picture](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/happy-cake-day-to-me) after that show after a doctor told me in 2014 I may have cancer based on PSA, right in the middle of my wife divorcing me.

Good luck with the biopsy.
