I just had the fusion biopsy and asked the surgeon about the perineum approach, but he does not use it, went through the rectum.

It took about 3-5 days to recover, had to take AZO to calm down the inflammation and pain, helped to get the urine flow going. I took Tylenol also, lots of water, but would suggest taking a laxative pill earlier in the recovery, as that first bowel movement was painful and tough. No real bleeding in stool, minor amount in urine day 1. I took time off from my usual exercise routine, not forcing or lifting anything heavy as advised.

Now I'm onto the special CT with IV tracer to see if the cancer has spread anywhere, as the dr. said the 3 of 15 core samples was a more aggressive kind of cell type.
