Welcome to this new member that posted this in another location:
"I am not sure if I am doing right, I'm not very good at this, but I have q question, my last biopsy was around 6 months ago, no cancer was found (I had 3 prior biopsies and there was 3 small cancer cells found and I had Gleason 6) my last psa test was 2. What should I do now? Should I just continue with watchful waiting?"
Signed

Hi Forumun319, You have asked a common question. Can I ask how old are you, and what were some of your past PSA's? Your current PSA of 2 is very low and it's unusual for a man to face biopsies with such a low PSA. There are many ways to approach prostate cancer and each case can be very unique. I'll send you an Email with some patient guides that may help you.
Also just a note. I'll help you get acquainted with online posting. You can get lot's of individual case questions answered at sites like HealingWell.com or the PPML at UsTOO. But you have to be able to navigate. It's not hard once you get the hang of it. But we can help here too. With lots of options ahead, Watchful Waiting or a better term Active Surveillance being one of them, you are in a good position with this diagnosis to do very well.
Tony

Forumun, It appears from your stats you have low or very low risk PC. The best diagnostic at the time would be a multi parametric MRI to confirm your status. The MP MRI is the best for those that have negative biopsy in order to confirm that something bigger has not been missed
