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?

Best modern practice is to get an MRI before the biopsy so that any suspicious zones found by the MRI can be specifically targeted in the biopsy, otherwise they are just sampling at random.
