It does help. I am not getting any biopsies. I am happy to allow PC to do its thing. I just don’t want pain! I want it quick and painless. lol. Wishful thinking I guess.

The posts here outline a scary process but I would rather endure that than trust the VA with my care.

My recent Urologist said there are consequences for every decision - the true is right there! There are!

Thanks to all who provided advise.

@csbarry
I'm just a tad confused, your ex-military and you don't want to deal with pain yet you will let PC run its course?. Help me understand that.

@csbarry ‘Quick’, ‘Painless’ and ‘Death from Prostate cancer’ are words that are never found together.
My first urologist, a very happy go lucky female doctor, looked me right in the eye one day and said
“I’ve seen men die from this…and trust me, it’s horrible.”
