Thanks for writing this. I'm similar to @jc76 and am nervous, anxious and always envision the worst. My pre-biopsy research had me reading all kinds of horror stories such as bleeding for weeks, getting permanent ED from the biopsy, etc. I was concerned because my biopsy was transrectal but I took the antibiotics and requested twilight anesthesia and the doctor agreed. I did wake up covered with blood on my lower body which immediately panicked me but the nurse just said "oh, yeah, the doctors don't do a good job cleaning up" and she wiped it off and I was fine.

I had blood in my urine but for less than a day and only had "murder semen" for the first 3-4 times. I was in low-moderate pain when sitting for about two days but 5 mg THC gummies (legal here) did the trick and killed the pain without making me too loopy. It was MUCH less bad than I had expected, and that has held true for most of my treatment as well so far.
