Question 53 years old - PSA of 4.67

Due to my family history (father diagnosed at 52 and Grandfather died of prostrate cancer) went to urologist after finding out my PSA was 4.67. Urologist wants me to get a biopsy (scheduled in Sept).

What questions should I be asking? Anything I should be doing now?

Absolutely do the MRI first. This will provide you with two bits of critical information: the size of the prostate (to put the PSA into proper perspective), and any areas of concern for the biopsy to target.
