Good morning Richard,

Thank you for letting us know. So the surgery went smoothly for you and I’m glad this is behind you!. My husband didn’t have stent after the surgery. Our experience is that if you drink large volume of water daily during the first week after the surgery, it helps alleviate the spasms and the burning sensation. My husband drank one gallon of water everyday, to a point he couldn’t look at the water anymore at the end of the day. Of course you will have frequent urination, plenty of water helps flush out the clots, blood and the rest of the toxins. Try to avoid coffee during the first week and of course finish all your water intake at least 4 or 5 hours before bedtime.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, it can be stressful while waiting for the biopsy, now looking back, I’d say, maintaining a positive outlook can make things a bit easier. It is definitely easier said than done. We tried meditation, he said it helped him a great deal some days, but there were days he just could not bring his mind to focus on the here and now.

Get plenty of rest, please do not hesitate to reach out, I can be a listening ear at the very least.

Jas

Jas, thanks for taking the time to answer, give more info, and provide support and encouragement. I'm not stressing the biopsy, it's out of my hands now. I have a good team of medical professionals so I know they will do everything they can for me. You are a very good person to take the time for me.

Richard
