Would you go ahead with a Prostate removal?

I think your right... Its hollowing out the prostate.. They did mention that the urea tube going through the prostate would be removed and they then sew the the two ends together... Not sure which process that is...I'll know more on the 7th
I'm just looking at the pro's and cons of this, from people who "Know" or have taking the path before me...
I'm still on the fence...I'd say 50/50 because I feel fine...and I feel good knowing I can take care of the problem if I stop peeing..
Also..I'm not on Flomax... don't really need it and when I did take it, it would make me dribble a little something..giving me less control. of course this was before this peeing problem started in July

@casd57 There are many procedures to help you if no cancer is found.
It sounds like you have a tendency to become blocked so this ‘quiet period’ probably won’t last…sorry!
TURP has been mentioned, along with aquablation; there are also laser surgeries like HoLep which are very successful, and they can biopsy the tissue at the same time, so there is no need for a separate procedure. Best,
Phil
