@samsmydog2 It did not…however, knowing what I know now, I would go with HoLep for the ability to biopsy.
My Uro Surgeon for my RARP said that I may have had PCa at the time of the Green Light treatment, and from the sheer volume of cancer I had at biopsy 6 yrs later, he could’ve been right.
I’d recommend a PSE test - 94% effective for finding PCa - BEFORE doing anything.
If it’s all good, then Green Light is probably the way to go.

Thanks, Phil, hope you landed on your feet, your outlook is good and everything is still operating properly. This is good advice, as determining whether my issue is BPH or cancer has become quite a dilemma, as has finding a doctor I can put my faith in. I'd never have even heard of the options such as green light, HOLEP, or PSE if it weren't for the guys here like you. I have a urology appointment Friday and I'm requesting the PSE as you suggest.
