This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.

Sorry to read of your concern, Wade. I can't help you with a persoanl experience after surgery, although I can say that my urine was pink for weeks after my biopsy and the TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) aka RotoRooter job I had done. about three or four weeks after the latter I had a fright when I passed a blood clot. That got me back to the urologists who said not to worry - that kind of thing could happen for motnhs after the procedure. Wouldn't it be great if they mentioned this to you?
I don't know how many of the experiences of men who chose surgery you have read. I think if you do that you will find a wide range of experiences. They are on the site at SURVIVORS STORIES
