HoLEP procedure experiences?

Yes I underwent HoLEP procedure this August 1. I'm 77 diagnosed with prostate cancer 4 years ago and have been treated with ADT Lupron and more recently apalutamide (Erleada). I've lived with BPH for more than 20 years and used Flomax to help with urination. Worse was lost sleep with frequent nightime urination. Well, my urologist/oncologist suggested I consider radiation treatment for my metastisized prostate cancer. Radialogist said prostate was too large and radiation would cause too much inflamation and shut off my urination. Thus, HoLEP was recommended. Outcome was amazing!! Full recovery with normal urination and a good nights sleep. Only issue was the catheter for a week. A BIG BIG surprise was tissue analysis tested NEGATIVE for cancer. I and my doctor agreed to stop all cancer meds and begin monthly surveiance. Highly recommend HoLEP procedure. Very low risk and can give you complete relief from BPH. Do your research and compare to other procedures. I wish I had HoLEP 20 years ago. Good luck.

What a great story! One goes from thinking he has cancer…to no cancer and the best flow he’s had in 40 years! Great story….and so glad to hear that it was good news all around!
