Thank you for your detailed rest. I will try to pick up the book. I have low grade cancer after biopsy. Have had mri. Under surveillance and monitoring. I have a good Doctor! I am 73 years old. Be well and take care.
Was just wondering if the options for my bph were worth pursuing.

I had Green Light Laser for BPH - instant relief, no bleeding, no pain. Urinated like a boy again…
Less invasive than HOLEP which is more like a TURP and physically removes chunks of prostate lining; involves a longer recovery and longer catheter time.
Your pursuit of a remedy is really determined by how much discomfort or inconvenience you have. In my case, I couldn’t urinate or did only partially and was going to the bathroom every half hour…
