Transperineal vs Transrectal biopsy

Just got back from fiducial marker insertion and apparently, it's me and not the norm. Two of these sent me to the roof too. The third was fine. The opinion of the surgeon is that the nerve bundle they target with lidocaine is not in the position it's supposed to be due to the nature of the growth of the tumor. Told him that sounded a lot like lipstick on a pig, but I was still hurting some. He might just be right, and you'll be fine.

MJP, I am really sorry that you have a "misplaced" nerve bundle perhaps because of the tumor's growth. Actually, regardless of the reason, I am sorry that you are experiencing what seems like excruciating pain. Twist and turn for me today, ironically. I chatted with Mayo this morning. I am scheduled to see one of their urologists (amazing reputation and resume!) in late October. He only does trans-perineal biopsies, but that would not happen until after our initial consultation meetup. On the other hand, I am scheduled for a transrectal biopsy next week. UGH!!!!
