Correct, Peter. Thank you guys for your responses....
I should clarify that it is from urinating, but only the little bit after I've done #2. Only once did it happen just from urinating alone - and that was the day after the biopsy....
Had a quick question - I believe I've read on here that bleeding in the urine is common after a biopsy. Maybe 2-3 weeks? I had my biopsy two weeks ago tomorrow, and I'm still having bleeding. But it...
Yeah, it's the .5mg. When he was explaining the options, he said Avodart was more expensive, but that the generic had to be taken every day. Making the cost be similar. But when I saw the...
Hey there, Berk. I actually did get good news. Came back negative. Good luck with your surgery, and you're correct - this is a great forum....

Just got call from urologist office. Said that urologist had some cancellations and would be able to meet with me tomorrow morning instead of the scheduled Friday appointment. First thought - is this...

Thanks so much for the responses, guys. It's much appreciated during this very stressful time....
