The problem you have is why we try to get people to have a transperineal biopsy, to avoid the possibility of an infection. I had three different transrectal Biopsies and never had an infection, but we’ve had people in here who’ve had terrible issues with infections after transrectal biopsies.

Everyone that I have heard of that has gotten an infection has been able to recover fully. I know that at least one person had to stay in the hospital for a while because of it.

Did your biopsy find anything?

Yes 6 are cancer. Aggressive form. All on right side. Surgery May 8th for removal. Very frustrating. Doctor office called today no growth your fine. Don’t feel fine. Pet scan 4/18 read report seems to be not spread. Never heard from doctor office.
