Biopsy this morning

Best wishes for a good result. Keep us posted. Sorry you have to wait so long!

Well done 0311, keep yourself occupied dude, and try and keep the 'what if's' at bay, they serve little purpose in truth; this wait is the hard part...

My advice: don't laugh too much when you tackle the 1st #2, it was my downfall

Thanks everyone,one more thing.After my Biopsy my Uro told me of possible blood in urine,feces,and semen.He said it will take about 20 ejaculations to clear the pipes of any blood residue.Has anyone kept count ? I take this as a mandatory medical necessity.LOL

'Clearing the pipes' definitely helps get that stuff out of there. I'd say 12-15 times. It's pretty gross (like used motor oil!), so consider the shower--with the lights off so you don't have to see it. LOL!

But hey...don't judge me! No blood in feces for either of my biopsies. Just very little residual blood from the needle locations.

BTW, your PCA3 score is identical to what mine was.

Good luck on the results. I had 3 biopsies in the last year and I don't know the count, but it took about 14-20 days to clear the pipes. If you only clean them out once a week, it could take a month. When you have a wife like mine that says "That is gross, No hanky panky until you are clear", you tend to take matters into your hands sooner than later. Good luck. -JR

Just an FYI 0311, I was 'clear' again after 11 days and 6 happy endings. Did nothing for the first 5 days then was careful to step my workout down a bit to reduce abdominal pressure e.g. straining etc. Dunno if that helped but it seemed I ended up on the left had side of this bell-curve... which I'll take! All these things are averages of course...

I'm no doctor 0311 but a big 'bruise' anywhere on your body is basically a bunch of blood from broken blood vessels that can't escape. Over time (can be weeks) your body figures it out and coagulates/absorbs a bruise but IMHO it has to help if you can get rid of some of that blood to help your body out a bit as it heals.

As the guys here will attest, taking matters into your own hands will help. My (younger) wife timed things so that it was her 'week' and just said "have it at"; hats off to her.

I don't think there is a man here who will say they didn't freak the first time they saw red splooge, we men are programmed to freak out if we see blood anywhere it shouldn't be, especially on the outside of what should be a closed system. Our ladies of course are laughing at us... I found myself not wanting to have sex (in my head) because i was literally frightened of/by it. So I tried to look upon it more as 'Physical Therapy' and with the help of my wife and my trusty right hand man did my exercises... paid off; which is the message I was sending to you.

I tell ya, that first clear shot is a wondrous site to behold... I was like a teenager again!

HA!!! Now that's funny 0311, I'm sure I would have had the same reaction... like I said, we guys are programmed to freak out!

311, I have to say that was probably the funniest thing I've ever read on this forum, thanks for the laugh.
And good luck on the results

Really,stuff like this happens to me on a regular basis.It could be anything,anywhere,anytime.Usually food orders are screwed up in restaurants.Drs appointments are in a different location that I was given.I got new Buddies that just want to talk to me where ever Im at.Im Polish and have a happy go lucky face so I make unwanted friends,buddies, constantly.My Wife just cant believe all the encounters Iv had even when she is with me after all these years.Im like a magnet for odd stuff to happen to me.I hope Im not the only one out there that this happens to.
