In 2013 I started peeing blood and got a cystoscopy, My PSA was 4.3. I got a prostate biopsy when it went up to 7.5. It was negative. The guy that did it I found out later had sanctions regarding...
Anyone? He told me the biopsy wasn't 100%. Any help would really be appreciated. How abut it Peterdisabled?...
Hi, My PSA was 7.5 a year ago, I am 62 years old. Got a negative 12 core biopsy the old fashioned way, no imaging, just stuck a metal guide up my butt with slots on each side. Had some complications,...
I got my 12 core biopsy about 7 weeks ago, came back negative. You guys that got it done with no anesthesia that say it was nothing I don't get. Are you by any chance used to having things shoved up...
Well, that was a terrible experience that I will never go through again at least awake. Got my results today, all 12 cores were negative for PC. It really opened my eyes and gave me some perspective...
Andrew, You have been great with all your responses. Thank You. Compared to what you have been through I feel like a wuss for asking the question about my hind end. You take care my healingwell...
My hind end isn't feeling much better 3 days after the biopsy. It's more than just an inconvenience, I can hardly sit. When I do get sitting I don't want to get up after it calms down a bit. Anyone...

Getting pretty nervous. Getting my biopsy the day after tomorrow. Just started taking Cipro again. I have gotten a lot of support and advise here from people, who all had cancer. Looks like if they...
Hey Andrew, Read your blog, very good. The bell bottom corduroy pants were way cool. They had to be "Hip Huggers" or pegged Blue Jeans. A kid I went to HS with used to put his jeans on, then sew the...
Thanks Guys. Sounds like you have all been through hell. Getting old stinks. Pulmonary Fibrosis survivor of 15 years, avg life expectancy 3-5 years, Heart Attack 2011. Another heart cath in 2012. Had...
PeterDisAbelard, Thank You so much for the info, greatly appreciated. I learned a lot from you. Barry...
