Biopsy or not?

If you decide to do the biopsy I URGE you emphatically to do a TRANSPERINEAL one.
With your history of infections you are begging for a whopper if you go with the rectal option. The VA is not known for using the most effective, up to date procedures in my opinion.

This is what I requested and the center has only just begun doing it. Thank you for the suggestion

I’m not using VA for follow up, I have both private insurance and VA. VA also now allows us to use outside medical groups.
