It is different for everyone. Your description didn't match mine at all. I am sorry that a number of responders had such negative outcomes. Still, your results may be much better/easier than those.
The #1 advice is: find the most highly skilled surgeon you can find, in a hospital of excellence, regardless of location.

@nymitch I could not agree more. Find the best center of excellence with high volume your insurance will allow. Even my biopsy was painless. It was by the doctor at Mayo with the most experience in transperineal biopsy - the only type they do now. My luck of the draw. And, considering the less than pleasant experience of others, I certainly feel lucky. All my best to everyone going through this.
