I don't know what you've done since this post, but you really need to
get on alt.support.cancer.prostate and bring up your problem. Just
lurk (as I've done) or ask questions.
>From what you've said, you really, really need a biopsy. It is an easy
procedure, and will put your mind to rest: either you have cancer, or
you don't. Best to know your enemy...
Your UR is right: the option to treatment is death.
