I've been on Flomax for 20 years for BPH. Seemed to help some but had frequent night urination. 2019 diagnosed with prostate cancer and placed on ADT Lupron, Reached out to a number of doctors in my plan for treatment of my BPH. They wouldn't consider any BPH treantment because of the cancer. Changed medical plan with new doctors who agreed on a procedure called HOLep. It's holeum laser treatment of the prostate from the inside to remove the prostate tissue pressing around the bladder and urethra. I had the procedure done last August with outstanding 100% results. No more Flomax and no more BPH issues. Check it out. It has an excellent success rate better than any other BPH procedures. I'm 77 and wished I had this done 20 years ago.

That’s great the HoLEP procedure worked for you. That’s good information for me to remember should I ever have similar issues.

What did you eventually do regarding the prostate cancer diagnosis?
