It's good that you spoke with your Urologist.
A perspective from a soon to be 73 year old diagnosed 8 years ago as 5+5 or Gleason Score 10
PCa (Prostate Cancer) guy
*note that only 5 men out of every 100 IN THE WORLD receive a biopsy Gleason Score of 5+5* ------
After having done much research since being diagnosed and speaking with men from around the World
with PCa, I would NOW pursue one of the NON-INVASIVE tests available such as ---

Just because your prostate is not enlarged means SQUAT, since there could be the typical age related increase of PSA or something caused irritation of the prostate before the blood sample was taken such as sex, riding a lawnmower, riding a bike, heavy lifting .... or could be the presence of PCa.
ALSO, even if the PSA is elevated, it
is not an absolute sign of PCa being present.
Good Luck.
