Agree. Not to be alarmist, but UK medicine is measled out very stingily on account of the *cough* Socialist nature of the funding. I can say that, DW is from Burnley, UK. There was a very good reason the o.p. was given a biopsy an enlarged prostate alone wouldn't have done it. A negative result would not reassure ME. Prostate issues AND a rising PSA >/= 4 means biopsy. It probably means cancer as well. Which, as I understand it, is where most men in developed countries are headed in 2024 and beyond. We're all going to get there if we live long enough (>65y.o.) and the closer you are to 65 and over, the less likely it is to be of any real concern as regards longevity. In the US, a repeat biopsy inside of a year would be a given. I'm not sure about the UK. But do keep an eye on things o.p.
