Yes, for MrsWD it was EXTREMELY stressful. She has had a lot of people disappear from her life (her mother died when she was 8). This was not my first rodeo, as I said, I've had either 3 or 4 biopsies over the years and it has never been dealt with this way. The usual progression is;
GP notices high PSA
GP sends you to a urologist
Urologist does a biopsy and (always in my case so far) he says don't worry.
THIS time, with MrsWD always in the room listening, the GP sent me straight to an oncologist who went straight to "metastatic" and terrified MrsWD. I had to go through about $25,000 worth of MRIs etc while she cried and wrung her hands. I've been through this so many times I was pretty sure it was yet another false alarm, but they had my poor wife thinking I was all but on my death bed.
I'm happy I'm OK. I'm not happy about how this was handled.

That would be no.
